Conversation
- Integrated MCP server to manage project data operations. - Added project tools for creating, updating, listing, and deleting projects. - Utilized annotations for read-only, write, and delete tool configurations. - Introduced helper utilities for UUID extraction, pagination, and options handling. - Updated `main.go` to handle MCP server startup. - Updated `go.mod` and `go.sum` dependencies for MCP server integration.
…ion for project tools
- Added MCP tools for managing project snippets: create, update, list, delete, and retrieve. - Refactored utilities for pagination and UUID extraction to include snippet-specific functionality. - Enhanced `main.go` to initialize and register snippet tools with the MCP server. - Augmented domain models with snippet types and languages for improved tool input validation.

Node.js child_process spawn Windows .bat .cmd shell false documentation
💡 Result:
On Windows,.bat and.cmd files are not directly executable as standalone processes [1][2]. Because of this, they cannot be successfully executed using child_process.spawn when the shell option is set to false (the default) [1][3]. If you attempt to spawn a.bat or.cmd file directly with shell: false, the operation will fail because the operating system does not recognize these files as executable binaries [1][4]. To execute these files on Windows, you must use one of the following approaches: 1. Use child_process.spawn with the shell option set to true (note that this is discouraged due to security risks if handling unsanitized user input) [1][5]. 2. Use child_process.exec, which internally invokes the command through the system shell [1][6]. 3. Manually spawn the command processor (typically cmd.exe) and pass the.bat or.cmd file as an argument [1][7]. This is the mechanism used internally by child_process.exec [1][5]. When shell is set to true on Windows, Node.js uses the shell specified by the process.env.ComSpec environment variable [3][5]. Additionally, the documentation warns that if the shell option is enabled, you must avoid passing unsanitized user input, as it can allow for arbitrary command execution via shell metacharacters [1][8].

Model Context Protocol clients command args stdio Windows batch file command configuration Claude Desktop Cursor documentation
💡 Result:
When configuring Model Context Protocol (MCP) clients like Claude Desktop or Cursor on Windows, the stdio transport requires specific handling due to how Windows spawns child processes [1][2]. The most effective way to avoid common issues—such as "spawn ENOENT" errors, invalid command syntax, or unexpected console window popups—is to use a "cmd /c" wrapper [3][2][4]. Configuration Pattern For most stdio MCP servers (especially those relying on npm, npx, or batch files), do not call the executable directly in the command field. Instead, use cmd.exe as the command and pass your actual target as arguments [3][2][4]. Example Configuration (e.g., in claude_desktop_config.json or.cursor/mcp.json): { "mcpServers": { "my-server": { "command": "cmd", "args": [ "/c", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-everything" ] } } } Key Implementation Details: 1. Use Absolute Paths: Always use absolute paths for scripts and executables to avoid failures caused by the client's unknown or changing working directory [4]. Use forward slashes (e.g., C:/path/to/script.py) to prevent JSON escape character conflicts with backslashes [4]. 2. The "cmd /c" Wrapper: By wrapping your command (e.g., npx, python, or a.bat file) with cmd /c, you ensure the command is correctly resolved and executed within a shell environment, which is often necessary for stdio pipes to initialize properly [3][2][4]. 3. Batch Files: If you point the command directly to a.bat or.cmd file, you may encounter a known Windows issue where passing arguments causes "The syntax of the command is incorrect" errors [5]. Wrapping these calls with cmd /c generally resolves this [3][2]. 4. Environment Variables: MCP servers launched over stdio inherit a limited set of environment variables [4]. Always define required variables (like API keys) explicitly within the "env" object in your configuration file [3][4]. 5. Debugging: If a server fails to start, check the logs (e.g., %APPDATA%\Claude\logs for Claude Desktop or the developer console in Cursor) [4]. A "spawn error" or "ENOENT" almost always indicates that the command path is incorrect or the binary is not in the system PATH [6][4]. For advanced use cases, you can also use "npx.cmd" directly if available, or point the command to "wsl.exe" to run Linux-based MCP servers from your Windows environment [7].

No Windows, install_standalone_cli gera devaulty-backend.bat, e a configuração usa command e args. Clientes que usam execução direta, sem shell, podem falhar antes de iniciar o backend. Para esses clientes, use cmd.exe /c ou forneça um launcher .exe. Teste Claude e Cursor nas versões Windows suportadas.
