🔍 Read-only MCP server for secure filesystem exploration, searching, and analysis
Secure filesystem MCP server for reading, writing, searching, diffing, and patching files.
A secure, production-ready Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants controlled access to the local filesystem. All operations are sandboxed to explicitly allowed directories with path traversal prevention, sensitive file blocking, and optional Bearer token authentication.
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.

|---|---|
| roots | List allowed workspace roots. Call first — all other tools are scoped to these directories. |
| find | Find files by glob pattern. Returns matching files with metadata. |
| tree | Render a directory tree with bounded recursion. Returns ASCII tree + structured JSON. |
| read | Read text file contents. Use head/tail to preview first/last N lines of large files. |
| read_many | |
| stat | Get file/directory metadata: size, modified, permissions, mime, tokenEstimate. |

| grep | Search file contents (grep-like). Returns matching lines with optional context. |
