Describe the bug
When adding an MCP server from the CLI, you get a nice TUI to define the info for the server. However, if you put something into "Command" with backslashes (i.e. dotnet run --project D:\projects\terminal\src\tools\wt.mcp), the backslashes don't automatically get escaped! This results in the MCP server not working!
When you later check the MCP server configuration, it will remove the \ so it ends up looking like this: dotnet run --project D:projectsterminalsrctoolswt.mcp.
Affected version
No response
Steps to reproduce the behavior
/mcp
a to add a new server
- fill out the details; in
Command use something with backslashes (see example above)
- save
The MCP server fails to work. The error doesn't have anything to do with backslashes either! (which is expected tbh, but it made tracking this down a bit harder)
Expected behavior
Given that it's a TUI, there should not be a need to escape characters or backslashes.
