Description

Path: /tools/mcp/transports/stdio
When running an MCP Python client on Windows and trying to connect to an MCP server implemented as an npm package (e.g., @modelcontextprotocol/server-github), the stdio_client helper fails with:

vbnet
Copy
Edit
OSError: [WinError 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application
This happens because Windows cannot directly execute npm package entry points via shebang, unlike Linux/macOS.
