What's Wrong?

Claude Desktop has no UI to remove a Desktop (LOCAL DEV) MCP connector once added. The only removal path is editing claude_desktop_config.json directly, but Desktop overwrites the file on quit, making manual edits impossible.

What Should Happen?

Like Web connectors, there should be a Disconnect option.

Steps to Reproduce

I have build a custom application via claude code to update my website.

I want to store it in the cloud (the config) and that works.

But, I originally built it locally and now the local desktop config can't be disconnected. This causes issues with feature availability.
