[Feature Request] Pretty-print JSON output from MCP tool responses in editor expansion

Bug Description
I'm using Django MCP to have Claude code directly control the Python/Django shell in the context of a project. If I expand with Control-O, then the expansion gives me just sort of JSON garbled output. It would be really nice if there is the possibility to see this as nicely formatted code. I checked if there is a possibility to fix this in the MCP server but it's not. It's something that needs to be fixed within Claude code so that's why I'm submitting this feedback request.
