Windows desktop app shows "Pocket_Setup.exe Failed - Virus detected" on download

I tried downloading the desktop from Download the Pocket App for iPhone, Android, Web, and Desktop | Pocket Docs and got this windows alert:

Obviously, I didn’t install. But I’d like to be able to use MCP which I understand is accessible through the desktop, and I was wondering if there’s some other way to connect Pocket and Claude?

Hi @Yosh! Welcome to the community!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Our team is aware of this issue and actively working on a new build that won’t trigger this false positive alert in Windows Defender.

We’ll post an update here as soon as the updated installer is available for download. Thank you for your patience in the meantime!
