MCP Filesystem Server
MCPOfficialOpen Source25.8
by mateicanavra • File & Storage
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes secure, permissioned filesystem operations (read, write, search, move, delete, and XML utilities) to agent clients.
Example Use Cases
- 1
Secure, permissioned access to read and search files within a confined set of directories (e.g., to retrieve documentation or code snippets).
- 2
Programmatically create, modify, move, or delete files and directories with audit-friendly operations and dry-run edit previews.
- 3
Convert or query XML files (XPath, structure analysis, or XML-to-JSON conversion) and receive response-capped outputs suitable for downstream processing.
Description
This Bun/Node-compatible MCP server provides granular, sandboxed file and directory operations within configured allowed paths, with fine-grained permission flags (readonly, create, edit, move, delete) and symlink controls. It supports single and batch file reads/writes, advanced edit/diff operations, recursive directory trees, content and regex search, XML-to-JSON conversion and XPath querying. The server enforces path validation and sandboxing so agents cannot escape specified directories, and provides argument schemas and response-size caps to protect downstream consumers. It is designed for integration with MCP-capable agents and hosted MCP platforms (examples include glama.ai).
Capabilities(14 total)
Tools (14)
read_file
Read the complete contents of a file as text. DEPRECATED: Use read_text_file instead.
path:string*tail:numberhead:number
read_text_file
Read the complete contents of a file from the file system as text. Handles various text encodings and provides detailed error messages if the file cannot be read. Use this tool when you need to examine the contents of a single file. Use the 'head' parameter to read only the first N lines of a file, or the 'tail' parameter to read only the last N lines of a file. Operates on the file as text regardless of extension. Only works within allowed directories.
path:string*tail:numberhead:number
read_media_file
Read an image or audio file. Returns the base64 encoded data and MIME type. Only works within allowed directories.
path:string*
read_multiple_files
Read the contents of multiple files simultaneously. This is more efficient than reading files one by one when you need to analyze or compare multiple files. Each file's content is returned with its path as a reference. Failed reads for individual files won't stop the entire operation. Only works within allowed directories.
paths:array*
write_file
Create a new file or completely overwrite an existing file with new content. Use with caution as it will overwrite existing files without warning. Handles text content with proper encoding. Only works within allowed directories.
path:string*content:string*
