directory not empty error

[DavidFarago]

I copied the following into my cline_mcp_settings.json:

    "roo-activity-logger": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:annenpolka/roo-logger"],
      "env": {},
      "disabled": false
    }

but then I got ENOTEMPTY: directory not empty.

The error log says:

Installed the MCP server successfully on my machine in Roo, so the problem only occurs with Cline.

[DavidFarago]

Now it works in Cline, too. Could it be that having multiple VS Code instances running concurrently causes this error?
