The Filesystem MCP server entry in the extension catalog ships with placeholder paths (/path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2) that cause it to fail on install. The built-in Developer extension already provides file system access, making this third-party extension redundant for most users. Users who want it can still add it manually with their own paths.

Summary
Remove the Filesystem MCP server from the extension catalog. It ships with placeholder paths (
/path/to/dir1 /path/to/dir2) that cause it to fail immediately on install. The built-in Developer extension already provides file system access via shell/edit/tree tools, making this third-party extension redundant for most users.Users who specifically want the sandboxed MCP filesystem server can still add it manually with their own paths via the "Add Extension" button.
