Description

### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve

MCP toggling requires explicit commands, skills can be toggled from the list with spacebar/enter.

### Proposed solution

As it is already with skills users should be ready to type /mcp, move up and down the list and toggle them on/off with the space bar/enter.
MCPs take lots of context and it should be easy to toggle them on/poff without requiring individual commands.

### Example prompts or workflows
