MCP Gateway Profile Context Suggested update #491

Description

@cuzz22000

Potential update.

Created a new profile for Obsidian using the MCP Toolkit for Mac OS. The plugin when adding a client, in my case codex, updated the .codex/config.toml by default. The entry in the config was labeled [mcp_servers.MCP_DOCKER] very generic and codex had to take a couple of rounds to find it, as it does not identify as Obsidian. I had to direct the Agent to use [mcp_servers.MCP_DOCKER] in order for it to connect.

By the agents suggestion... if there was more context with the name it would have been able to associate the connection with this particular MCP. I changed the name but on restarted it failed to connect and Docker Desktop reported the client was not connected. Deleted the entry and rejoined with a codex client and everything worked again but the name reverted back to the original [mcp_servers.MCP_DOCKER].

As a suggested update more context should be added to the label if it's going to automatically update config files for various agents. In my case I added the profile name; [mcp_servers.MCP_DOCKER_OBSIDIAN]. As I have not tested any other MCP but I suspect the naming convention is the same, which would only add to the confusion.

Thanks,
