I have been struggling to set up the MCP server on my Windows 11. I tried every solution until I changed the JSON from ... to this.

MCP server guide JSON:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Desktop",
        "C:\\Users\\YourUser\\Downloads"
      ]
    }
  }
}

My Json :

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "cmd",
      "args": [
        "/c",
        "npx",
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop",
        "C:\\Users\\username\\Downloads"
      ]
    }
  }
}
