Problem Statement

It's very useful to specify which MCPs should be enabled for each project users are working, as having unrelated MCPs enabled takes up context space.

Currently to do that users need to manually create a configuration file for each of their projects, which is a good solution already, but could be automated.

Proposed Solution

When running the /init command, claude could ask the user which currently configured MCPs are relevant to the project and create the .mcp.json on its own.
