What's Wrong?

claude mcp list does not display user-scoped servers

Expected: claude mcp list should show servers from all scopes (local, user), or at minimum accept a --scope flag to filter by scope

What Should Happen?

Actual: claude mcp list only shows local-scoped servers. User-scoped servers are confirmed to exist (add rejects duplicates) but are invisible in list output

2. claude mcp list → shows "No MCP servers configured"
3. Try adding again: claude mcp add --transport http --scope user MyServer https://example.com/mcp → outputs "MCP server MyServer already exists in user config"
