MCP File Manager

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Read and summarize local project files or documentation without direct filesystem access in their environment.

• 2

  Create or update text files and project artifacts programmatically (e.g., generate notes, configuration files, or code snippets).

• 3

  Find files by name, extension, or content across a project directory to support search-and-replace, onboarding, or code review tasks.

Description

This MCP server exposes file management operations over the Model Context Protocol so agents like Claude can interact with a local filesystem in a controlled way. It supports listing directories, reading and writing text files, creating directories, deleting items (with recursive option), and searching by name, extension, or content. It is intended for local development and prevents access outside a configured STORAGE_DIR for basic safety. Production use would require additional security hardening.
