[BUG] Input text cleared when @mentioning MCP server to toggle
Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Dec 12, 2025 by AchilleasDrakou Closed Dec 15, 2025
Bug Description
When typing a message and then using @mention to toggle an MCP server on/off, the input text typed before the @mention is cleared.
Steps to Reproduce
- Start typing a message in the prompt
- Type
@<mcp-server-name>to toggle it on/off - Select the MCP server from the suggestions
Observed Behavior
Input text before the @mention is cleared/lost.
Expected Behavior
Input text should be preserved after toggling the MCP server.
Use Case
User has all MCPs disabled by default to reduce context overhead. When handling a one-off task (e.g., using Linear), they want to type their request and then enable the specific MCP inline with @linear without losing their typed message.
Current Workarounds
- Use
/mcp enable <server>before typing the message (less ergonomic) - Create dedicated subagents per MCP (requires extra setup, less flexible)
Environment
- Platform: macOS
- Version: 2.0.67
