BUG: DC reads <Name> tag from XML as <n> in Claude Desktop

[XJanuszCH]

When I ask Claude desktop to read an XML file through Desktop Commander that contains <Name> and </Name> nodes anywhere it reads them as <n> and </n>. Even when it tries to read them through Desktop Commander using Python, Powershell, bash it always gets the <n> tag. Only when it tried to read the file as bytes it was able to actually read tags properly.

A summary of the changes CodeRabbit can apply:

• Add a new file BUG_REPORT_CLAUDE_DESKTOP_XML_TAGS.md documenting that XML tag mangling is a Claude Desktop bug (not the MCP server), summarizing evidence (no server-side XML processing, raw UTF-8 reads, workaround of reading files as binary), and instructing to report the issue to Anthropic.

• Add a new bug report file "BUG_REPORT_CLAUDE_DESKTOP_XML_TAGS.md" documenting that Claude Desktop mangles XML tags (root cause, evidence, workaround to read files as binary, impact, and report recommendation) and update README.md to include a "Known Issues" entry summarizing the Claude Desktop XML tag mangling and pointing to the new bug report.
