Descripción
### What feature would you like?
Separate storage (or native partitioning) of MCP OAuth tokens from the Claude account login credential.
Today `~/.claude/.credentials.json` holds both `claudeAiOauth` (the Claude login itself) and `mcpOAuth` (every MCP server sign-in) in one file. For users who run multiple Claude accounts on one machine (e.g. switching between subscription accounts by swapping config/credentials, or via `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` layouts), MCP sign-ins get forked into whichever account context was live at the time: sign in to an MCP server under account A, switch to account B, and B has no memory of that sign-in — the user must re-authenticate every MCP server per account, even though the MCP identity is the same human.
Requested: store `mcpOAuth` in its own file (e.g. `~/.claude/.mcp-credentials.json`), or provide a supported setting to point MCP credential storage at a shared location independent of the account credential. Either would let MCP sign-ins survive account switches without third-party tooling having to rebuild a mixed credentials file.
### Additional context
Multi-account users currently have no supported way to split the two credential families; the whole config dir relocates as one unit via `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR`, and the credentials file moves as one unit within it. A native split would also reduce the blast radius of any tooling that snapshots/restores account credentials.

Línea de trabajo
Start by tracing how ~/.claude/.credentials.json is read and written, especially claudeAiOauth and mcpOAuth, and how CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR changes its location. Compare the requested storage approaches and verify that MCP sign-ins remain available after switching account credential contexts without duplicating credentials.
