Description

MCP File Server implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint to perform file operations (list, read, write, delete) and run git commands within a controlled base directory. It includes path normalization, validation to prevent directory traversal, command validation to reduce injection risk, and audit logging. The server is modular and extendable, allowing new tools to be added as services, and supports changing the base directory at runtime from chat.
