v2.1.0 plugin install: server fails to start — dist/index.js is ESM but server/ has no package.json with type:module
Bug
Installing the plugin via the Claude Code marketplace (claude-prompts@minipuft, v2.1.0) produces a cached MCP connection failure. Running the server manually shows why:
(node:30944) Warning: Failed to load the ES module: ...\server\dist\index.js. Make sure to set "type": "module" in the nearest package.json file or use the .mjs extension.
SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Plugin MCP server fails to start on Windows: "Unable to detect server root directory" (.mcp.json missing --server-root)
Summary
When claude-prompts is installed as a Claude Code plugin on Windows, the MCP server fails to connect on every startup. The bundled dist/index.js can't auto-detect its own package root, and the plugin's .mcp.json doesn't pass --server-root, so the server aborts during the identity/root-resolution step.
claude mcp list shows:
plugin:claude-prompts:claude-prompts: node .../server/dist/index.js --transport=stdio - ✗ Failed to connect
Environment
- OS: Windows 11

It seems there is a LOT of overlap - if I understand your project's goals correctly, and you want to use Claude Code to develop it - it might be better to add UI and missing features to th

Naming Semantics/Cursor Support
This project supports Cursor, Windsurf etc. already - the decision around prepending claude to the project name might need revisiting (better sooner rather than later).
