Problem Statement

As I imagine many do, I store my CC configurations in a config/dotfiles folder which I version in git. This works great, for the most part, sharing the same setup across machines. For MCPs however, there seems to be no great way of doing this.

As #6888 points out, storage locations are inconsistent. But specifically for versioning, storing global configurations in .claude.json is a concern as this is not a file I'd want shared across machines.

Can we get globally scoped MCP configurations in settings.json or some other slim file?

Proposed Solution

Store global MCP configurations in settings.json or allow for a similar file like .mcp.json at config home.
