What happened, and what did you expect?

Although 0.10.8 installs some configuration for OpenHands which openhands acknowledges when you ask it, the installation is incomplete. Two additional things need to be added.

Step 1: Register the mcp with openhands globally.
edit C:\Users\username\.openhands\settings.json

Change or add the mcp_config section to contain this data:

"mcp_config": {
  "codebase-memory-mcp": {
    "transport": "stdio",
    "command": "C:/Users/username/.local/bin/codebase-memory-mcp.exe",
    "enabled": true
  }
},

Step 2 — Reference the registration in every user profile you want to use. Here i show only the default openhands profile. In C:\Users\[username]\.openhands\agent-profiles\default.json,
change:
"mcp_server_refs": null
to:
"mcp_server_refs": ["codebase-memory-mcp"]
(keep in mind that there may already be some other mcp tools referenced here so try not to overwrite them.)

Reproduction

Just run the basic full install and the problem occurs.
