+### Fixed
+- **Windows: Server crashes immediately on startup (Issue #150)** — `os.execvp` fails on Windows. Replaced with `subprocess.run` to prevent immediate crashes on Windows 11 during server startup via the `.mcpb` bundle. Added explicit `stdin=sys.stdin`, `stdout=sys.stdout`, and `stderr=sys.stderr` to ensure the JSON-RPC stdio channel between Claude Desktop and the server remains properly connected across platforms.
