/mcp command should be available over Remote Control

Problem
The /mcp command is not available when connected via Remote Control. When an MCP server connection drops during a remote session, there's no way to reconnect without physical access to the machine.
Use case
I'm using an MCP bridge to query a remote sales data server. The SSE connection drops periodically, and /mcp is needed to reconnect. When working via Remote Control this is a dead end - you have to get back to the machine to run /mcp.
Expected behaviour
/mcp (and specifically the reconnect functionality) should work over Remote Control sessions, the same as it does locally.
Current workaround
None - requires physical access to the machine running Claude Code.
