FlutterFlow Desktop live-session bridge does not create desktop.sock on Windows

[NotaryBossDev]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

FlutterFlow MCP core tools connect successfully and can inspect the project. However, FlutterFlow Desktop does not pair with the MCP live session.

The live-session status reports:

• paired: false
• reason: socket_file_missing

FlutterFlow Desktop does not create:
C:\Users\danie\AppData\Local\FlutterFlow\desktop.sock

The "Send to FF AI" option is also missing from the widget right-click menu.

Expected Behavior

When FlutterFlow Desktop is open with a project visible in the UI Builder, it should create the desktop.sock file and automatically pair with the FlutterFlow MCP live session.

The live-session status should report paired: true, and live IDE tools such as the active project, selected widget, and "Send to FF AI" should be available.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install and open FlutterFlow Desktop 7.0.5 on Windows.
2. Open the Notary Boss Starter project until the UI Builder canvas is visible.
3. Start the FlutterFlow MCP server using flutterflow ai mcp --workspace <workspace-path>.
4. Check FlutterFlow MCP live.status.
5. Observe paired: false with reason socket_file_missing.
6. Check %LOCALAPPDATA%\FlutterFlow\desktop.sock and observe that it does not exist.
7. Right-click a widget in FlutterFlow Desktop and observe that "Send to FF AI" is missing.
8. Fully close and reopen FlutterFlow Desktop, reopen the project, and observe the same result.

Visual documentation

Environment

- FlutterFlow version: 7.0.5
- Platform: FlutterFlow Windows Desktop and Web
- Browser name and version: Google Chrome
- Operating system and version affected: Windows 11
- FlutterFlow plan: Growth
- FlutterFlow project ID: notary-boss-starter-eqyn1k
- FlutterFlow MCP/CLI version: 0.0.37

Additional Information

Core FlutterFlow MCP tools work correctly and can inspect the connected project. Only the optional Desktop live-session bridge fails.

FlutterFlow Desktop is running with the project open in the UI Builder, but %LOCALAPPDATA%\FlutterFlow\desktop.sock is never created. Fully closing and restarting FlutterFlow Desktop did not resolve the issue.

Please confirm whether Desktop live-session pairing is available on the Growth plan or requires an account feature flag. The “Send to FF AI” option and “Get Bug Report Code” option are missing in both FlutterFlow Desktop and the web builder.
