Repository navigation
Directory structure is not being read correctly on Windows #266
Description
This is what I see when I select "Index your first repository" via the web interface.
To compound this problem:
The command line to the MCP to add a repo isn't working:
> codebase-memory-mcp cli index_repository '{"repo_path": "C:/Users/Tony Topper/Documents/odin-ai/"}'
level=info msg=mem.init budget_mb=65279 total_ram_mb=130559
{"content":[{"type":"text","text":"repo_path is required"}],"isError":true}
I installed via
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.ps1 -OutFile install.ps1

I'm having what seems like the same issue. I noticed that one thing that would make it fail and try and index the Antigravity folder was having a space anywhere in the path.
But even without spaces in the path it seems to run fine in Antigravity with this:
Ran with these arguments:
{ "repo_path": "d:\\Github\\Purpleghost_Macros" }Output
{ "project": "d-Github-Purpleghost_Macros", "status": "indexed" }and then I get this in the logs:

D:\Github\Purpleghost_MacrosI'm also getting the broken file selection dialog in the UI.

v0.6.1
I have the same problem and no space in the path.
The number of folders might be right, but there are no names on the folder.
Every time I click on a folder I get a new separator:
ci(temp): Windows repro harness for #394 group
DeusData commentedon May 31, 2026
Verified fixed on v0.7.0. On Windows CI (run) the directory structure is read correctly — a repo with
src/server.mjsandsrc/sub/calc.jsindexes both, with correct relative paths and thesrc/→src/sub/nesting. The wide-char directory enumeration (FindFirstFileW/FindNextFileW, #386) fixed the Windows traversal. Closing. 🙏ci: remove temporary Windows repro harness

Tried it with 0.7.0:
but still:
I'm not allowed to reopen the issue :-(

With 0.8.1 I can now see a filled dialog under windows.
But when I select a folder for indexing "Index This Folder" then nothing happens.
If I use the MCP from within OpenCode then indexing the exact same folder works and I can see it in the ui.
How can I see a log (under windows)?
