I get this too.
I think I cleaned it out in previous release. But not sure We just had new release with bunch of fixes. Can you guys try? https://github.com/wonderwhy-er/DesktopCommanderMCP/releases/tag/v0.1.25
It is published to NPM so smithery install is good
I'll try it out. fwiw, this issue was super intermittent, and it seems to occur for other mcp servers as well -- i suspect its just a "the mcp server hasn't responded to me in time" from claude desktop, but it also doesn't seem to be recoverable, which is weird, but probably on Claude Desktop's end.
Also, gotta say, so glad I stumbled upon this mcp on youtube shorts. probably the only good thing I've gained from doomscrolling, haha.
Will close as fixed for now
