- Check Railway logs for any errors
**Windows: "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect" or npx command not found:**
This is a common Windows issue with spaces in Node.js installation paths. The error occurs because Claude Desktop can't properly execute npx.
**Solution 1: Use node directly (Recommended)**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-railway": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\node_modules\\npm\\bin\\npx-cli.js",
"-y",
"mcp-remote",
"https://your-app-name.up.railway.app/mcp",
"--header",
"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECURE_TOKEN_HERE"
]
}
}
}
```
**Solution 2: Use cmd wrapper**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"n8n-railway": {
"command": "cmd",
"args": [
"/C",
"\"C:\\Program Files\\nodejs\\npx\" -y mcp-remote https://your-app-name.up.railway.app/mcp --header \"Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECURE_TOKEN_HERE\""
]
}
}
}
```
To find your exact npx path, open Command Prompt and run: `where npx`
