Feature Request

In multi-root VS Code workspaces, Claude Code only scans the first/primary workspace folder for .mcp.json. This makes it unnecessarily hard to configure MCP servers in multi-root setups.

Proposed behavior

Claude Code should scan for .mcp.json in:

  1. All workspace folders listed in the .code-workspace file (not just the first)
  2. The directory containing the .code-workspace file itself
  3. User-level ~/.claude/.mcp.json (currently also not supported in the VS Code extension)

Current behavior

Only the first workspace folder root is scanned. This forces users to place .mcp.json in a specific folder that may not be the most logical location for their project structure.

Environment

  • Claude Code VS Code extension
  • Multi-root workspace
