[MCP] How to configure Code Mode MCP

[dannykorpan]

Hi,

I've been trying for several hours to configure Code Mode MCP (https://github.com/universal-tool-calling-protocol/code-mode), but I can't get it to work. Any ideas? I'm using the latest Cherry Studio 1.7.1.

MCP Server configuration

Assistant configuration with enabled code-mode MCP

Assistant Chat to test

Can it work properly on the chat page?

Same problem

[dannykorpan]

Okay, I figured out that it has something to do with the path in the environment variable
✅ Working (folder without spaces)
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE=/Users/dannykorpan/.utcp_config.json

❌ Not working
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE="/Users/dannykorpan/syncthing/Meine Bibliothek/Code-Mode-MCP/.utcp_config.json"
or
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE='/Users/dannykorpan/syncthing/Meine Bibliothek/Code-Mode-MCP/.utcp_config.json'

❌ Also not working if I escape special characters
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE=/Users/dannykorpan/syncthing/Meine\ Bibliothek/Code-Mode-MCP/.utcp_config.json
or
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE="/Users/dannykorpan/syncthing/Meine\ Bibliothek/Code-Mode-MCP/.utcp_config.json"
or
UTCP_CONFIG_FILE='/Users/dannykorpan/syncthing/Meine\ Bibliothek/Code-Mode-MCP/.utcp_config.json'

Does it have something to do with Cherry Studio or the Code Mode MCP Server?

I need to look into it. Thank you for your feedback.
