When does this happen?
IF Filesystem MCP server rejects paths with lowercase drive letters (e.g., 'g:\...') on Windows, returning 'access denied' even when the path is within allowed directories.
How others solved it
THEN Normalize paths by converting drive letters to uppercase before comparison during path validation. Implement a case-insensitive comparison for drive letters on Windows systems to ensure both 'g:\' and 'G:\' are treated as equivalent.
// TypeScript: normalize drive letter before validation
function normalizeWindowsPath(path: string): string {
return path.replace(/^([a-z]):/i, (match) => match.toUpperCase());
}
// Use normalized path in allowlist checksRelated patterns
