[BUG] `claude mcp get` suggests `claude mcp remove -s claudeai`, but that scope is rejected ("Cannot remove MCP server from scope: claudeai")

[ZayanKhan-12]

Description

For claude.ai connector MCP servers, claude mcp get tells the user to run a removal command that claude mcp remove itself rejects. The CLI is self-contradictory: one subcommand recommends -s claudeai, the other doesn't accept that scope.

Steps to reproduce

With a claude.ai account connector present (e.g. Google Drive):

$ claude mcp get "claude.ai Google Drive"
claude.ai Google Drive:
  Scope: claude.ai config
  Status: ! Needs authentication

To remove this server, run: claude mcp remove "claude.ai Google Drive" -s claudeai

Run the suggested command:

$ claude mcp remove "claude.ai Google Drive" -s claudeai
Cannot remove MCP server from scope: claudeai

Without the scope flag it also fails:

$ claude mcp remove "claude.ai Google Drive"
No MCP server found with name: "claude.ai Google Drive". No MCP servers are configured.

And claude mcp remove --help only documents local, user, or project as valid scopes — claudeai isn't one, so the suggestion in mcp get can never work.

Expected behavior

Either of:

• claude mcp get should not suggest an unsupported command for claude.ai-scope servers — it should point at the actual mechanism (the /mcp disable toggle, i.e. disabledMcpServers, or disconnecting the connector at claude.ai), or
• claude mcp remove -s claudeai should work (e.g. by adding the server to the project's disabledMcpServers list).

Related polish issue

claude mcp list and claude mcp get don't reflect disabledMcpServers state: a connector disabled via the /mcp toggle still shows as ! Needs authentication with no (disabled) marker, even though sessions correctly skip it. This makes it look like disabling didn't work.
