Description
Add MCP docs server configuration to the Claude Code GitHub Action, enabling Claude to look up the latest MCP protocol documentation and schema references when working on MCP-related code or reviewing changes.
Server Details
.github/workflows/claude.yml,.mcp.jsonMotivation and Context
By adding the mcp-docs MCP server, Claude can access up-to-date protocol documentation when reviewing PRs or working on issues in this repository.
We were also replacing the Claude Code system prompt, but my assumption is that we actually want to append to it.
How Has This Been Tested?
I still need to verify this but don't currently have the GitHub Action set up in my own repo. I've tested the docs server locally and it seems to pull up information reliably in that scenario.

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