What's Wrong?

When running the claude mcp list command on Windows, the application crashes with a libuv assertion failure. The MCP server itself works correctly and responds to requests properly, but the Claude Code client fails with a low-level error in the async handling code.

claude mcp list
Checking MCP server health...

lampadina-winforms: http://localhost:5001/mcp (HTTP) - ✓ Connected
Assertion failed: !(handle->flags & UV_HANDLE_CLOSING), file src\win\async.c, line 76

can try here: https://github.com/Walt7/Mcp-Lampadina, project: MCP-Lampadina-WinForms

What Should Happen?

The claude mcp list command should complete successfully and display the available MCP servers without any crashes or assertion failures. It should list the configured MCP servers and their status.

Additional Information

test winform with .net 4.7 (visual studio 2022) in https://github.com/Walt7/Mcp-Lampadina

The server is a WinForms .NET 4.7 application using HttpListener with KeepAlive=false and responding with 204 to notifications. The error appears to originate from libuv in Claude Code, likely related to keep-alive handling or connections being closed too early.
