Subject: [PATCH] Windows fix in source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

File: drip-mcp-server/src/index.js
Import: pathToFileURL is now imported from 'url' along with fileURLToPath.
Startup check (bottom of file): Replaced the direct import.meta.url === \file://${process.argv[1]}\`` check with a Windows-safe comparison:
// Start the server if run directly (Windows-safe: normalize argv[1] to file URL for comparison)const entryUrl = process.argv[1] ? pathToFileURL(path.resolve(process.argv[1])).href : '';if (entryUrl && import.meta.url === entryUrl) {  const server = new DripMCPServer();  server.run().catch(console.error);}
Why this works: On Windows, process.argv[1] can be a path like C:\path\to\index.js, so file://${process.argv[1]} is not a valid file:// URL and never matches import.meta.url. Using pathToFileURL(path.resolve(process.argv[1])).href normalizes the script path to the same file:// form as import.meta.url, so the “run directly” check works on Windows (and still works on macOS/Linux).
3. Quick test
npm install and node src/index.js were run from c:\CLIENTS\castos\drip-mcp-server with dummy env; the process printed “Drip MCP server running on stdio” and stayed running, so the fix is active.
