Error on setting up MCP on Claude desktop #2
Description
Hallo there,
I write to report a bug in the setting up of MCP on Claude Desktop.
I'm changing the config as described in the readme
{
"globalShortcut": "",
"mcpServers": {
"directus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@directus/content-mcp@latest"
],
"env": {
"DIRECTUS_URL": "https://admin.mydomain.io",
"DIRECTUS_TOKEN": "myTokenHere",
}
}
}
}but I'm getting an error and this is what the error log reports

2025-05-30T15:23:38.133Z [directus] [info] Server transport closed unexpectedly, this is likely due to the process exiting early. If you are developing this MCP server you can add output to stderr (i.e. `console.error('...')` in JavaScript, `print('...', file=sys.stderr)` in python) and it will appear in this log.

It seems to be related to jsdom, but I can't tell how to solve.
The same goes for email/pass access.
