Description

Claude Code has Git bash windows setup instead of WSL

Image

The issue with this is though is that it's not compatible with the claude-flow MCP server and sometimes even ruv-swarm MCP server.

I tried setting the command to "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe" but even that didn't fix it. I tried "cmd /c" before npx and that still didn't work. The moment I tried the same init in wsl, it worked immediately.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the setup with Claude Code in Windows Git Bash, comparing it with the working WSL setup. Investigate the npx-based claude-flow and ruv-swarm MCP server initialization paths. Done means the MCP servers can be initialized successfully from Git Bash without requiring WSL.
