Add ability to start and stop Claude Code as an MCP server from the GUI. Backend changes: - Add mcp_serve() command to spawn 'claude mcp serve' process - Add mcp_stop() command to terminate running MCP serve process - Add ProcessType::McpServe to process registry with singleton pattern - Add register_mcp_serve_process() and get_running_mcp_serve() methods - Update mcp_get_server_status() to check registry for running process Frontend changes: - Add Start/Stop MCP Server buttons to MCPImportExport component - Add status polling (2s interval) to show running state - Wire onSuccess callback in MCPManager for status refresh - Fix duplicate toast notification bug The MCP server allows external tools to communicate with Claude Code via the Model Context Protocol over stdio transport.

Pull request overview
This PR adds MCP (Model Context Protocol) server start/stop controls to Claude Code, enabling it to run as a server that other applications can connect to via stdio transport. The implementation includes backend process management with singleton enforcement, frontend UI controls with real-time status polling, and fixes for duplicate toast notifications.
Changes:
- Added
mcp_serve()andmcp_stop()backend commands with singleton pattern enforcement - Implemented
ProcessType::McpServein the process registry with PID-based tracking - Added Start/Stop MCP Server buttons with 2-second status polling in the UI
- Fixed duplicate toast notification bug in import functionality

Make singleton enforcement atomic by checking for existing MCP server inside the register_mcp_serve_process() lock. This prevents two concurrent start commands from both passing the check and spawning duplicate processes. Additional improvements: - Use std::mem::forget() to document intentional process detachment - Kill spawned process if registration fails (cleanup on race loss) - Move singleton check comment from caller to enforcement point

The MCP server allows external tools to communicate with Claude Code via the Model Context Protocol over stdio transport. This enables integrations with other AI tools and IDEs.
