调研方向

首先定位与 dist/index.js 对应的 MCP Filesystem Server 入口点,并使用“Bäcker”或其他非 ASCII 字符串重现 Windows 写入场景。比较报告的 stdin、stdout 和 stderr 编码设置,然后验证在 Windows 上写入和读取 UTF-8 字符时能够正常工作,而不会将其转换为问号。

SOLVED: MCP Filesystem UTF-8 Issues on Windows with German Umlaute

Problem

If you're using the MCP Filesystem Server on Windows and experiencing issues with German umlauts (ä, ö, ü, ß) or other UTF-8 characters being converted to "?" when writing files - this post provides a working solution.

Symptoms:

  • Writing "Bäcker" → becomes "B?cker"
  • Reading works fine, only writing is affected
  • Affects all non-ASCII characters (€, é, ñ, etc.)

Root Cause

The STDIO communication between Claude Desktop and the MCP server doesn't use UTF-8 encoding by default on Windows. The Node.js process needs explicit encoding settings.

Solution

Step 1: Switch from Docker to NPX installation
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem
Step 2: Patch the server code

Edit file: %APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\@modelcontextprotocol\server-filesystem\dist\index.js

Add after the imports section:

// UTF-8 Fix for Windows
if (process.platform === 'win32') {
    process.stdout.setEncoding('utf8');
    process.stderr.setEncoding('utf8');
    process.stdin.setEncoding('utf8');
}
Step 3: Update Claude Desktop config

Edit: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

Replace the filesystem server configuration:

"filesystem": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y", 
    "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
    "C:\\claude_local",
    "C:\\Users\\[YOUR_USERNAME]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Claude"
  ],
  "env": {
    "LANG": "de_DE.UTF-8",
    "LC_ALL": "de_DE.UTF-8",
    "LC_CTYPE": "de_DE.UTF-8"
  }
}
Step 4: Restart Claude Desktop

Result

UTF-8 characters now work perfectly: ÄÖÜ äöü ß € ✓
