Znote 4.5.1 — MCP servers work out of the box, everywhere
4.5.0 shipped MCP support tested from the dev environment — where the app
inherits the terminal's PATH and everything resolves. The packaged app
doesn't get that luxury, and Windows adds quirks of its own. This release
makes MCP servers start reliably on a fresh machine, on all three platforms.
Fixes
macOS / Linux
- MCP: the packaged app couldn't find npx / uvx (GUI apps get a
minimal PATH that ignores your shell config — version managers and
keg-only Homebrew installs like node@22 were invisible). Znote now
captures your login shell's PATH once and resolves commands exactly like
your terminal does
- MCP: ~ in a server's command, args or cwd
(e.g. --db-path ~/data/app.db) is now expanded properly
Windows
- MCP: npx servers failed on a fresh Node.js install with
ENOENT lstat ...\AppData\Roaming\npm — npm never creates its global
prefix folder until the first install -g. Znote now creates it
- MCP: server arguments carrying cmd.exe special characters broke the
launch — "mcp<2" was parsed as a file redirection ("The system cannot
find the file specified"), and paths with spaces split apart. Arguments
are now properly quoted
- MCP: a missing runtime showed a raw localized cmd.exe message instead
of the install hint. Znote now probes the command first and tells you
exactly what to install (winget install astral-sh.uv, …)
- MCP: a runtime installed via winget could stay invisible to the app
even after a reboot. Znote now reads the user/system PATH from the
registry — if a fresh terminal finds it, so does Znote
All platforms
- MCP: after installing a missing runtime, hitting Test again picks it
up immediately — no app restart needed (on Windows the cached PATH is
re-read from the registry)
