When using IBM Z Open Editor MCP server via Roo Code, allow the capability to use a ZOWE profile other than the default

Multi-Sysplex environments requires multiple ZOWE host profiles, currently the IBM Z Open Editor MCP server only considers the default ZOWE host profile. It would be beneficial to direct an IBM Z Open Editor MCP server to different LPARs without having to change the default ZOWE host profile.  For example, the ZOWE host profile could be identified to the MCP server; an agent mode request could look like:
"use HOST1.rse profile to list all jobs for user RACFID and sort by status"
"list all members for dataset <master cataloged dataset> and use HOST4.rse profile"

Thank you in advance
