## 🖥️ Platform Notes

### Windows-Only Components

The following components are **Windows-specific** and will not work on Mac/Linux:

- **Windows MCP** ([.windows-mcp/](.windows-mcp/)) - Desktop automation using Python/uv
  - Provides Windows UI automation, PowerShell execution, clipboard operations
  - **Impact on other platforms**: Will show error on startup but won't affect other MCP servers
  - **Solution for Mac/Linux**: Ignore Windows MCP errors or disable in `.mcp.json`

- **PowerShell Scripts**:
  - [.claude/tools/start-memory.ps1](.claude/tools/start-memory.ps1) - Memory MCP launcher
  - Various hook scripts using PowerShell commands
  - **Alternative**: Create bash equivalents for cross-platform support

### Cross-Platform Components

All other MCP servers work on all platforms:
- ✅ Serena (Python/uvx)
- ✅ Sequential Thinking (Node.js/npx)
- ✅ Database Server (Node.js/npx)
- ✅ Context7 (Node.js/npx)
- ✅ Memory (works via Node.js on all platforms - PowerShell launcher is Windows-only convenience)
- ✅ Fetch (Python/uvx)
- ✅ Playwright (Node.js/npx)

### Disabling Windows MCP on Mac/Linux

If you're on Mac/Linux and want to disable Windows MCP to avoid startup errors:

**Option 1: Comment out in .mcp.json**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    // "windows-mcp": {
    //   "command": "uv",
    //   "args": ["--directory", "./.windows-mcp", "run", "main.py"]
    // },
    // ... other servers
  }
}
```

**Option 2: Disable in settings**
```json
// In .claude/settings.json or .claude/settings.local.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "windows-mcp": {
      "enabled": false
    }
  }
}
```

---

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

Quick fixes:

```bash
# Agent not working?
> "Use the [agent-name] agent to..."  # Manual invocation

# Command not found?
> /help  # List available commands

# MCP server failed?
cat .mcp.json | jq '.mcpServers'  # Check configuration

# Permission denied?
cat .claude/settings.json | jq '.permissions'  # Check permissions

# Windows MCP error on Mac/Linux?
# This is normal - see Platform Notes above
```
