Describe the bug
No hammer or connection icon on the desktop UI, but MCP is connected and working.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Not a reproduction but what I figured out. I have file system and memory installed. I asked Claude:
Can you access C:\Users\~\Claude
I'll help you access files on that path. Let me first check if this directory is accessible from my environment.
Great! I can access the directory at C:\Users~\Claude. Let me list the contents of this directory to show you what files are available
I can see there are two subdirectories in this location:
Would you like me to explore the contents of either of these subdirectories? Or is there something specific you're looking for within this directory?
Yes please. just confirm that you can read and write to everything.
I'll examine the contents of both directories to confirm I can read and write to everything in this location.
Great! I can confirm I have full read and write access to the C:\Users~\Claude directory and its subdirectories.
I can:
Read existing files in both the GD_to_MD and Series folders and their subdirectories
Write new files to the directory
Access the nested directory structure including all the character profiles, chapters, and writing guides
Can you find/access/read/write to the memory file?
I'll try to access the memory file. Let's check if it's visible in the directory first:
I can see the file:
Let me try to read the memory.json file:
Great! I can read the memory.json file successfully.
Expected behavior
To have visible icons

Additional context
windows 10 using node. It's been like this for 3 days after a system reboot. Some MS stuff updated in the background overnight and I installed Aqua Voice in the morning. Did a reboot, opened Claude and have spent the last 3 days trying to figure out why it wasn't working when it was all along.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
Hi @Elle-JH we don't officially support issues with Claude Desktop here, this page and the Discord are both official resources for getting help with the client app.
However I think what you're seeing is just due to Claude Desktop reorganizing the UI. MCP Tools now show up under the settings button to the right of the plus sign button, they just don't have a hammer icon anymore. Do your servers show up there?
Sorry @olaservo I didn't realize I was in the wrong place!
But no, the tools aren't anywhere. The settings button still has the same style, thinking, web, and google stuff. They're not under any of the other buttons either.
EDIT: Oh, boy. I'm blaming this on too many long days and the migraine that won't go away. All I needed to do was scroll... They are there.
