What's Wrong?
Issue: The built-in [Filesystem] MCP server introduced in 1.1.9310 crashes on startup with an unexpected transport close. The manually configured [filesystem] entry works correctly and is unaffected.
Key log evidence:
2026-03-27T20:54:29.035Z [Filesystem] [info] Using built-in Node.js for MCP server: Filesystem
2026-03-27T20:54:33.743Z [Filesystem] [info] Server transport closed unexpectedly,
this is likely due to the process exiting early.
2026-03-27T20:54:33.743Z [Filesystem] [error] Server disconnected.
What's working: The user-configured filesystem MCP server (via claude_desktop_config.json) initializes successfully and functions normally.
What Should Happen?
The user-configured filesystem MCP server (via claude_desktop_config.json) initializes successfully and functions normally. The new built-in Filesystem server should also initialize successfully. No stderr output exists, so would this be a MSIX sandbox issue?
