Description

### Checks

- [x] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 15.6.1 (24G90)

### Expected behaviour

The Amazon Q chat panel in Android Studio should remain accessible and functional regardless of global MCP server configuration in the Q CLI.

### Actual behaviour

The Amazon Q chat panel in Android Studio should remain accessible and functional regardless of global MCP server configuration in the Q CLI.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install Amazon Q plugin in Android Studio
2. Configure a global MCP server: `q mcp add core-mcp-agent --global /path/to/mcp/server`
3. Restart Q desktop app
4. Open Android Studio
5. Try to access chat panel via Tools > Amazon Q > Open Chat
6. Chat panel is no longer accessible while code completion still works
