Standardize MCP Server Configuration File Format

Bug Description
Feature Request: It would be awesome if adding a MCP server was using the same configuration file format used by Claude desktop MCP server config

Example scenario
I've already have MCP servers configured for Claude Desktop using this file

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dapr": {
      "command": "mcp-server-dapr",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

I was expecting claude code to either pick the same MCP servers, or allow me to point to the same file to enable MCPs
Instead, in the docs I see a new command for adding MCPs. It is not clear if that is compatible with the JSON format used by Desktop app
