I didn't mean run a switch to the motors but either to the MCAS itself or whatever does the mixing between the MCAS and the other trim adjustment sources. Is the MCAS system even a separate box or just a software routine running on the main flight computers taking the AoA data?

Most likely a software routine, which is why I don't think there's any way to disable MCAS without running a new input to the microcontroller board. Not close enough, but my mental engineering department simulator suggests a monolithic approach seeing as it would be cheaper hardwarewise. Wild ass guess mind, to the point of being useless. I couldn't give any concrete insights without access to design docs and specs.
