BUG REPORT: Claude Desktop Projects - Filesystem MCP Freeze
Environment
- OS: Windows
- Claude Desktop: [votre version]
- MCP Server: filesystem
- Target Path: D:\Documents\ADAPA LES ORIGINES\OBSIDIAN Coffres-forts
Issue
Complete freeze (indefinite hang) when Projects attempts ANY filesystem
operation via MCP, including list_allowed_directories.
Working
- ✅ Claude Code: filesystem access works
- ✅ Normal conversations: filesystem access works
- ❌ Projects: complete freeze, no error message, no timeout
Timeline
- Previously: Partial functionality (PDF read OK, Obsidian write = freeze)
- Currently: All filesystem operations freeze from first attempt
- Persists across project deletion/recreation
Impact
Projects + persistent PDF context + Obsidian write workflow is impossible.
Expected
Filesystem MCP should work identically in Projects as in normal conversations.
