fix: remove .mcp.json to stop shadowing user-scope skillsmp (v1.4.2)#5
Conversation
The committed project-scope .mcp.json registered a keyless skillsmp MCP server that overrode the user-scope registration carrying SKILLSMP_API_KEY. Because project-scope takes precedence, the actually-running server had no API key and SkillsMP calls silently failed. Drop the file entirely — a public repo cannot carry the secret, and README §SkillsMP + /fetch-skill-config already guide users to register via `claude mcp add --scope user`, which is the working path.

Move the MCP shadow fix from [Unreleased] to [1.4.2] and bump plugin.json so plugin consumers picking up skill-fetch@latest get the fix on next update. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Why now
v1.4.1 was released 2026-04-23 04:51Z. Plugin-installed users currently see broken SkillsMP tools (they appear as MCP tools but calls fail). Fix is strictly subtractive — deleting one 88-byte invalid config file — and unblocks the intended semantic-search path.
Blast radius by install path
Only the plugin path is affected, and `git pull`-based plugin updates propagate file deletions correctly, so existing v1.4.1 plugin users auto-heal on next `claude plugin update`.
Migration
Users who want SkillsMP semantic search must register the server once at user scope:
```bash
claude mcp add --scope user skillsmp -- npx -y skillsmp-mcp-server --env SKILLSMP_API_KEY=your_key
```
Or interactively via `/fetch-skill-config` (already documented in README §SkillsMP).
