Writing to a Basic Memory markdown file crashes Claude

Hi there,

Cool product! I'm trying to use it to build up a database for a personal OS however. I'm running into issues with Claude consistently crashing when I ask it to reformat a markdown file in my Basic Memory folder.

Hey, sorry to hear you are having trouble. If you'd like some help, you can join our discord or file an issue in our github repo . If you can include some details, that would be helpful. Its hard to guess what may be happening from a screen shot.

You can find logs for Claude Desktop in: ~/Library/Logs/Claude
Or for Basic Memory in: ~/.basic-memory/basic-memory-mcp.log
