[FEATURE] Sort and group MCP tools in /mcp dialog
Resolved 💬 2 comments Opened Apr 9, 2026 by KTCrisis Closed May 22, 2026
Problem
When an MCP server exposes many tools (e.g. 50+ tools), the /mcp tool list is displayed as a flat, unsorted list. This makes it hard to find specific tools or understand what's available at a glance.
Proposed solution
- Sort tools alphabetically by default in the
/mcptool viewer - Group tools by prefix — many MCP servers use naming conventions like
filesystem_*,database_*,api_*. Displaying them as collapsible groups would greatly improve readability - Optional: search/filter within the tool list
Context
MCP servers that aggregate multiple backends behind a single server can expose dozens of tools. Without sorting or grouping, the list becomes unusable for quick reference.
Current behavior
- Tools displayed in arbitrary order
- No grouping or hierarchy
- No search/filter capability
Expected behavior
- Tools sorted alphabetically (or grouped by prefix)
- Collapsible groups for namespaced tools (e.g.
filesystem_*→ filesystem group) - Optional search box for large tool sets
