SSH is a way to connect to another computer. It now says:\n\n- Paths with spaces can be wrapped in single quotes.\n\n- On Windows, full paths ending in `.exe`, `.cmd` or `.bat` work.\n\n- Quoted paths and Windows need Claude Desktop v4.16336.0 or later.\n\n- The command runs once when the connection is created, not each time you connect.\n\nBefore, it said there is no shell, so quotes, pipes, variables and a leading `~` do not work.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf you use this setting, you can now use quoted paths and Windows paths on a recent enough Claude Desktop, and you know your command runs only when the connection is first set up.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
