Changes Made

1. Added .mcp.json - New MCP server configuration file at project root with the mcp-docs HTTP server:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "mcp-docs": {
         "type": "http",
         "url": "https://modelcontextprotocol.io/mcp"
       }
     }
   }

2. Updated .github/workflows/claude.yml:

   • Added --mcp-config .mcp.json to load the MCP server configuration
   • Changed --system-prompt to --append-system-prompt to preserve Claude Code's default capabilities
   • Extended instructions to tell Claude to use the mcp-docs server for MCP-related work and reference the schema at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/modelcontextprotocol/tree/main/schema

Additional Context

The .mcp.json file also benefits local Claude Code CLI users who clone the repository, as it will automatically configure the mcp-docs server for them.
