Amp introduced a new setting, amp.mcpPermissions, that allows users to define rules to block or allow MCP servers using pattern matching syntax. The first matching rule determines the action, and if no rules match, the MCP server is allowed by default.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://ampcode.com/news/mcp-permissions:

> The setting amp.mcpPermissions defines rules that block or allow MCP servers.
