Claude Code's default MCP scope is `local`, which is per-project: the
server is stored under that directory in ~/.claude.json and does not
appear in `claude mcp list` from anywhere else. docs/LOCAL.md showed the
default and so produced exactly that confusion.
User scope is right here — the point is to ask about coursework from any
directory. Project scope would write a .mcp.json into the repo, which is
wrong when the HTTP config carries a bearer token.
Also adds the symptom and the fix, since "it is not in the list" has one
overwhelmingly likely cause.
