Filesystem MCP access limited to WSL directories - need full computer access

Problem Description

Currently, the filesystem MCP in Claude Code appears to be restricted to WSL directories only. This limits the ability to access files and folders across the entire Windows filesystem when working in a WSL environment.

Current Behavior

• Filesystem MCP can only access directories within the WSL environment
• Cannot access Windows drives (C:\, D:\, etc.) or user directories outside WSL
• Limited to paths under /home/ and WSL-specific directories

Desired Behavior

• Allow filesystem MCP to access any folder on the entire computer
• Enable access to Windows drives and directories when running in WSL
• Provide seamless file operations across both WSL and Windows filesystems

Use Cases

• Accessing screenshots and files stored in Windows user directories (e.g., G:\My Drive\Screenshots\)
• Working with files across multiple drives and partitions
• Managing configuration files and documents stored outside the WSL environment
• Enabling full filesystem automation and management capabilities

Technical Considerations

• May require additional permissions or security configurations
• Should maintain security best practices while expanding access
• Consider how to handle Windows/WSL path translation

Environment

• WSL2 on Windows
• Claude Code with filesystem MCP integration
• Need for cross-platform file access capabilities
