Feature Request: Restart MCP Servers

Summary

There is currently no built-in way to restart MCP servers in Eclipse Copilot. This makes it unnecessarily difficult to reload servers after configuration changes or to recover from a broken server state.

Current Workaround I use (Hacky)

1. Open the MCP settings in Eclipse and navigate to your mcp.json
2. Copy and cut (remove) the entire JSON content
3. Press "Restore Defaults" and then "Apply"
4. Paste your mcp.json content back in
5. Press "Apply" again

This is far from intuitive.

Proposed Solution

Please add a dedicated "Restart MCP Servers" button or action ideally accessible from:

• The MCP settings page in Eclipse preferences
• The Eclipse command palette / Quick Access

Why It Matters

• MCP servers can crash or get into a broken state during development
• Config changes sometimes require a server restart to take effect
• A simple restart action is standard UX in tools that manage background processes/servers

Environment

• IDE: Eclipse
• Extension: GitHub Copilot for Eclipse
