Add support for running MCP servers directly from IDE configurations using
a prefix syntax (e.g., `mcp tools claude-code:firecrawl`).
This feature:
- Parses config source prefixes (claude-code, claude-desktop, cursor, vscode, etc.)
- Loads full server configuration including command, args, and environment variables
- Applies environment variables before spawning the server process
- Falls back to existing alias lookup if no prefix match
Example usage:
mcp tools claude-code:firecrawl
mcp call claude-code:myserver tool_name --params '{}'
Includes comprehensive unit tests for prefix parsing.

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
