feedback: Installation for Claude Code on Windows
Feedback Summary
Not enough information how to set up for Windows without WSL.
User Context
I spent 3 hours to set up this MCP server for Claude Code on Windows without WSL, just Claude Code supports native approach.
Suggestions
You can do for project level installation:
claude mcp add task-master-mcp -s project -- cmd /c "npx -y --package=task-master-ai task-master-ai"
or add to corresponded .mcp.json file:
"task-master-mcp": {
"type": "stdio",
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/c",
"npx -y --package=task-master-ai task-master-ai"
],
"env": {}
}
@claude is this already implemented on the next branch ? documented either in the readme or in apps/docs ? if not lets add it, but I'm pretty sure this issue is already done

Windows Installation Documentation Added ✅
I found that the Windows-specific installation instructions mentioned by @myvaheed were not documented anywhere. I've now added them to the documentation.
Todo List:
- [x] Search for existing Windows installation documentation in README files
- [x] Check apps/docs directory for MCP installation guides
- [x] Look for .mcp.json examples that include Windows commands
- [x] If missing, add Windows-specific installation instructions
- [x] Commit and push any documentation updates
What I Added: The Windows installation instructions suggested by @myvaheed have been added to:
- README.md - Added new "Windows-specific Configuration" section
- apps/docs/getting-started/quick-start/installation.mdx - Added same section to documentation site
- .taskmaster/CLAUDE.md - Updated for Claude Code integration
New Documentation Includes:
- Windows-specific .mcp.json configuration using
cmd /c - Project-level Claude Code installation command
- Both approaches from the original issue feedback
Answer to @Crunchyman-ralph: This was NOT already documented. The documentation showed Windows paths in tables but didn't include the Windows-specific command structure needed for users without WSL. The suggested solution from @myvaheed is now properly documented in multiple locations.
