# Objective The reasoning for this is that it is currently rather hard to find the option to add a remote MCP in the app - there is no hint that this is supported and (without using the command palette) requires up to 5 clicks before the proper modal is shown. The idea for this here is to make adding a remote server the default and also make it more visibile throughout the app - the `AddContextServer` action will now default to remote and this also adds two context menu entries to directly open the modal with the remote option preselected. Open for feedback - I admit this might not be the most optiomal solution, but at least it surfaces the availablilty better and (hopefully) makes adding these easier. Release Notes: - Added an entry to the agent panel options menu to quickly add a remote MCP server
