Disable ping to MCP servers for serverless setup

[langered]

Context

Currently, I am using MCP servers deployed as a serverless service on GCP Cloud Run.
The setup works well; however, I’ve noticed in the logs that LibreChat continuously pings my MCP server.
This behavior keeps the server instance alive, which increases costs when using a serverless service.

Proposal

Add a configuration parameter in librechat.yaml that allows disabling the continuous pings to MCP servers.

Use case:

My goal is for serverless instances to scale up only when the MCP server is actually requested, rather than being kept alive by constant pings.

I have the same issue.
