Filesystem MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Read and aggregate file contents from a project or workspace to provide summaries, code assistance, or context-aware responses.

• 2

  Search and locate files or directories across allowed paths for retrieval, indexing, or relevance-based selection.

• 3

  Modify or manage the filesystem (create directories, write files, move/rename items, and inspect file metadata) within a restricted set of allowed directories.

Description

This repository implements a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides common filesystem operations (read_file, read_multiple_files, write_file, create_directory, list_directory, move_file, search_files, get_file_info, list_allowed_directories). It is designed to constrain access to only the directories supplied at startup for security, and it returns helpful outputs for agent consumption (including file lists, file contents, and metadata). Installation and usage are straightforward: install dependencies, build, and run the server with one or more allowed directory paths. The server is useful for agents that need programmatic, permission-scoped access to local filesystems.
