What feature would you like to see?

As the titles say is there a chance that this will be implemented? to be able to declare MCP servers using json format instead of the toml file.

Are you interested in implementing this feature?

The conversion is pretty straightforward
An example

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "shadcn": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["shadcn@latest", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

becomes

[mcp_servers.shadcn]
command = "npx"
args = ["shadcn@latest", "mcp"]

I think this feature request is already captured in #2630, so I'm going to close this one to reduce duplication.
