Common Causes for Claude Desktop/MCP Crashes:

Resource Exhaustion (Memory/CPU): MCP can be resource-intensive, especially when processing large files or complex tasks. If your system runs out of memory or CPU during the generation process, Claude Desktop might crash to prevent system instability. This would explain why it happens more often after a period of inactivity (resources might be less optimized).

MCP Server Issues: The MCP server (e.g., filesystem-mcp) might be crashing or disconnecting prematurely. Claude Desktop relies on this server for local file access and other functionalities. If the server crashes, Claude Desktop might lose its connection and exit.
