You can run an MCP server on Windows using explicit, full paths for the Node.js runtime and the server entry point. This approach ensures reliable operation in Windows environments and makes it straightforward to connect MCP clients to your local server for testing and development.

How to use

To use the Windows MCP server, start the server with the Node.js runtime and the server entry file, using absolute paths. A client can then connect to this running server to request data sources, trigger actions, and participate in MCP workflows. Always reference the full path to the Node.js executable and the server’s built distribution when you start the server.

When the server is running, you interact with it via an MCP client configuration that points to the same server instance. Use the exact path to the Node.js executable and the dist/index.js file as your runtime source so the client can establish a stable channel to the server.

How to install

Prerequisites: You need Node.js and npm installed on your Windows system.

Open an elevated Command Prompt (Run as administrator).
Verify npm is installed and identify its global prefix (where global packages are installed):

npm --version
npm config get prefix

Install the MCP server package globally (adjust package name if needed for your MCP server variant):

npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking

Confirm the package installed correctly:

npm list -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-sequential-thinking

Locate the Node.js executable on your system (the common location is shown as an example):

where node

Start the server using the absolute paths for node.exe and the dist entry point. Use the paths that match your user profile.

node "%APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\@modelcontextprotocol\server-sequential-thinking\dist\index.js"

Additional steps for testing the installation

Verify the server starts without errors and prints a success message indicating it is running. If you see unexpected errors, recheck the paths and ensure Node.js has the necessary permissions to read the files in your user profile and npm global directories.
