Problem Statement
If I have three dbs (local, staging, prod) and I configure an MCP toolbox for Databases per each, it loads tool descriptions for each. Thankfully, mcp tools of this mcp are relatively light on context space. There are others that are not so much.
Proposed Solution
It would be good if claude recognized mcp tools from same mcp but per different instance and reuse/inherit descriptions.
Alternative Solutions
_No response_
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful
Feature Category
MCP server integration
Use Case Example
Have local, staging and production database access each via MCP tools for databases.
