[Feature Request]: Add support for MCP Elicitation

For those who are unaware (obviously not @anthropics) Elicitation allows MCP servers to request additional information from users during interactions - similar to how CLI tools sometimes prompt for missing config values. This would help with several common scenarios:

• Dynamic configuration - MCP servers could request project paths, settings or other nice-to-haves when needed instead of requiring everything upfront in config files.
• Interactive workflows - When Claude Code is working on a task and an MCP server needs clarification (e.g., "which database to connect to" or "what naming convention to use"), it could ask directly instead of failing.
• Controlled data sharing - The elicitation protocol includes accept/decline/cancel responses, giving users explicit control over what information they share with MCP servers.

The feature is already in the draft spec and hopefully this gets included soon - huge unlock!

vscode already supports elicitation at v1.102 in the June 2025.

Now, go get it, Claude, be brave.

Much needed for both Claude Code and Claude Desktop. I have implemented one tool that uses elicitation and it works well with VSCode not with Claude Desktop. Here is my tool.
