Cursor's MCP loader (and Claude Code's) dedupes server entries by (command, registry-URL); when the user already has an AI-Catalog-installed jfrog-mcp / chrome-devtools-mcp / etc. under the same npx + same registry URL, the bundled jfrog is silently skipped. The trailing-slash difference is enough to make the URL string distinct so dedup no longer collapses them. Functionally identical for npm, the agent-guard hook allowlist, and the agent guard itself. 2. plugins/jfrog/templates/jfrog-mcp-management.md: drop the top-of-document "# Built-in jfrog MCP" priming section. That section's "Hard rules" (especially "in any 'currently installed' listing, report jfrog as ...") was strong enough to make the LLM re-classify generic listing questions ("Which MCP servers can I use?") as "ambiguous / both" and run the currently-installed flow before the catalog --list-available query, dropping the catalog rows from the response. Distribute the rules as small per-subsection notes that only fire when the LLM is actually doing that operation: - ## Adding an MCP: bundled jfrog is never installed via catalog; coexist as jfrog-catalog if catalog tool policy wanted. - ## Removing an MCP: removal is by uninstalling the plugin from Cursor only; never delete the bundled mcp.json entry. - ## Listing MCPs routing table: add "what MCPs can I use" and "which MCP servers can I use" to the Available-to-install row so the failing question is mapped unambiguously. - ### Currently installed step 3: report bundled jfrog as scope: plugin (jfrog), package: jfrog-mcp (bundled). The AX-1644 troubleshooting bullet and admin MCP Configuration guidance are preserved exactly.
