Problem
The /mcp and /plugin UIs only offer "View tools", "Reconnect", and "Disable" — there is no option to uninstall or remove an MCP server or plugin.
This matters because disabling doesn't actually help — disabled MCP servers still inject tool definitions and instructions into the context window (#30135, #6320).
The only way to actually remove them is via CLI (claude mcp remove <name>) or manually editing ~/.claude.json, which isn't discoverable from the UI.
Expected behavior
The /mcp and /plugin dialogs should include a "Remove" or "Uninstall" option alongside "Disable".
Environment
