When does this happen?
IF Configuring Claude for Desktop to connect to an MCP server fails because relative paths are used
How others solved it
THEN In the claude_desktop_config.json file under mcpServers, always use absolute paths for the command and directory arguments. Use the full path to the executable (e.g., get with `which uv` on macOS/Linux or `where uv` on Windows) and absolute paths for the project directory. On Windows, use double backslashes or forward slashes in JSON.
