[FEATURE] Support .mcp.json to live in .claude project folder.

Preflight Checklist

• [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
• [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

I don't want to have .mcp.json in my project root, it's messy seeing all those file. Claude already has .claude folder, I want to put it there. I don't want it in my home directory because I don't want a bloated mcp file for every project killing my context.

Proposed Solution

Just allow claude to read a .mcp.json or mcp.json file from the local project directory in the .claude/ folder

Use Case Example

So every project stays clean, isn't messy with clutter. Like I can't see this being such an issue to write a line of code giving claude a new location to look for a config. You probably can have claude write this feature with updated tests for you.
