Summary
Add support for running MCP servers directly from IDE/editor configs using a prefix syntax like
claude-code:firecrawlorcursor:myserver.This loads the full server config (command, args, env vars) from the specified config source and runs the server with proper environment.
Problem solved: Previously,
mcp alias addonly stored the command string, losing environment variables. This feature lets users leverage their existing IDE configs without re-registering servers.Supported Prefixes
claude-code(from~/.claude.json)claude-desktop(from Claude Desktop config)cursor(from Cursor settings)vscode/vscode-insiderswindsurfUsage Examples
