Enables AI assistants to securely interact with a local file system for reading, writing, and managing files within a designated project directory.
Enables AI assistants to securely interact with a local file system for reading, writing, and managing files within a designated project directory.
A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing file system operations. This server offers a clean API for performing file system operations within a specified project directory, following the MCP protocol design.
This MCP server enables AI assistants like Claude (via Claude Desktop) or other MCP-compatible systems to interact with your local file system. With these capabilities, AI assistants can:
Compare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_directory | Lists files and directories in the project directory |
| read_file | Reads the contents of a file |
| save_file | Creates or overwrites files atomically |
| append_file | Adds content to existing files |
| delete_this_file | Removes files from the filesystem |
| delete_directory | Deletes a directory (empty, or a whole tree with recursive) |
| edit_file | Makes selective edits using exact string matching |
| move_file | Moves or renames files/directories (git-aware: uses git mv for tracked files, else filesystem move) |
| get_reference_projects | Lists available reference projects |
