Remote Desktop Commander MCP gets disconnected

[phuryn]

Current behavior

Claude.ai has successfully connected to https://mcp.desktopcommander.app/mcp

When running npx @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@latest remote on my laptop (Win 11) I connect and get disconnected.

I tried:

• Completely disabling a firewall
• Running

Remove-Item "$env:USERPROFILE\.desktop-commander" -Recurse -Force
npx @wonderwhy-er/desktop-commander@latest remote

• Running
  npm cache clean --force

None of this helps. Logs:
