Start with the mcp-server-filesystem.log entry for @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem/dist/index.js and the ENOENT path C:\Users\MysticKarax\Desktop. Reproduce the Windows configuration with that path and compare it with an existing directory. Done means the failure is explained and the server's behavior for the configured path is verified.
