Yes, I've finally found it under System Technologies. My MDG contains only UML Profiles and Scripts.
That is the reason why you keep searching for the toolbar.

Create a diagram type, and a toolbox, and link the diagram type to the toolbox.
That way you always get your toolbox when you open a diagram of your type.

Alternatively you could pin your toolbox so it is visible regardless of the diagram type, but I would consider that less then ideal.

Because I never did the activities you mentioned, I would have many questions to you (how to create diagram type and what would be its context, how to create toolbox and so on) but I must go back to my first post and repeat my question. My technology is normal activated MDG, so why it is not visible in the default toolbox menu, as it was in the previous versions of EA?

I guess because your MDG technology doesn't actually define a toolbox.

See https://sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/17.1/modeling_frameworks/mdgtechnologies_2.html for more info on how to build your own diagram types and toolboxes.
