The usual fix is manually enabling/disabling\n\nservers by hand every time your task changes, and remembering which tools depend\n\non which.\n\n`mcp-profile`\n\nis a small, dependency-free CLI (+ a Claude Code skill) that lets\n\nyou define named profiles — e.g. \"research\", \"coding\", \"deploy\" — each listing\n\nthe MCP servers that task actually needs, then switch between them with one\n\ncommand:\n\n```\nmcp-profile use research\n```\n\nIt edits the same `enabledMcpjsonServers`\n\n/ `disabledMcpjsonServers`\n\nfields\n\nClaude Code already reads — no new config format, no daemon, no account, no\n\nnetwork calls.
