 - Insert new MCP entries near existing entries with the same prefix

+- **Case-insensitive deduplication**: Before adding a new tool ID, check whether a lowercase (or differently-cased) variant already exists. If `grep` is already mapped, do **not** add `Grep`. If `tool_search` is already mapped, do **not** add `ToolSearch`. The lookup code handles exact-match only, so capitalized variants do map differently — but if both would resolve to the *exact same friendly name*, skip the duplicate. Only add a capitalized variant when it has a meaningfully different name or the lowercase form does not exist at all.
