…nection failure `npx -y claude-video-vision@latest` fails on Windows with "Unknown command" because some npm versions don't handle the package@version syntax with -y correctly. Using the bare `claude-video-vision` command works after a global install and avoids the npx resolution issue entirely. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

.mcp.jsonto invokeclaude-video-visiondirectly instead of vianpx -y claude-video-vision@latest.Why
On Windows,
npx -y claude-video-vision@latestfails with:This causes the MCP server to report
✘ Failed to connectinclaude mcp list, making allvideo_*tools unavailable even after a fresh Claude Code session.The workaround is to install the package globally (
npm install -g claude-video-vision) and invoke the binary directly — which connects successfully.Fix
{ "claude-video-vision": { "command": "claude-video-vision" } }This works on Windows (confirmed) and should work on macOS/Linux as well since
npxresolution of a bare binary name is reliable once installed.Reviewer notes
npm install -g claude-video-visionas a Windows-specific step.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
