WSL Support

[timurkhakhalev]

Hi! Is it possible to add a WSL support? Not sure where should I send this request. Currently I've tried to create a simple weather-app project in WSL, Windows 11, Claude Desktop app.

Currently I have mcpServer config like this:

"command": "node",
            "args":
            [
                "\\wsl.localhost\\Ubuntu-22\\home\\timur\\...\\build\\index.js"
            ],

mcp server log:

Error: Cannot find module 'C:\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu-22\home\timur\...\build\index.js'

Seems like it tries to access wsl.localhost at C: drive

I know little about how to use WSL. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/filesystems seems to suggest that

            "command": "wsl",
            "args":
            [
                "node",
                "path/to/index.js"
            ],

Alternatively:

            "command": "node",
            "args":
            [
                "\\wsl$\<distroname>\<path>"
            ],

might work, assuming node is installed on windows.

/cc @anaisbetts in case you know how WSL works on Windows.

Yep, thank you, that's work!

Unfortunately, this does not work, is there some port that gets blocked between WSL and claud desktop?
