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.
