I did run into installation issues:
When I go to extensions in the Claude app, I have to click advanced settings to get to Install Extension in these steps. So there is an extra user step missing between 3 & 4:
- Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Extensions
- Click Install Extensions
I don't see a .dxt file in the repo, so Method 2: DXT Installation is invalid and should likely be striked out or not included yet except that seems the only way to install currently.
Install Extensions requires a .dxt or .mcpb. So, in v2025.8.3, which removes the filesystem-plus.dxt file, there is no effective way to install it. The .dxt file is present in v2025.8.1 release.
If I manually use filesystem-plus.dxt from v2025.8.1 and put it in the same path in v2025.8.3, I get errors and failure.
