Description

This MCP server provides a safe alternative to the traditional 'rm' and 'rmdir' commands by moving files, directories, and symlinks to the macOS Trash folder ($HOME/.Trash) rather than permanently deleting them. It handles name collisions by appending timestamps and blocks trashing of critical system paths to prevent accidental damage. The tool can be used both as an MCP server and a CLI utility, providing JSON output with details about the trashed items.
