At some point, a notification popped up indicating that MCP was loading. This message disappeared only after I switched subagents and returned to the main one via /subagents.

No, its loaded. Fake notification.
This pops up at random moments. Typically, I might step away from the computer, come back, and the message has reappeared—and each time with different MCPs, despite the fact that they have already loaded and the agent is working. However, switching the agent thread make the message go away.
