About This Server

Node.js server implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for filesystem operations.

Server Information

šŸ“‹ Overview:

This webpage is a GitHub repository page for the "servers" project under the "modelcontextprotocol" organization. Specifically, it displays the contents of the "src/filesystem" directory within the "main" branch. The repository aims to provide Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.


ā­ Key Points:
* The "servers" repository is a public project by "modelcontextprotocol" on GitHub.
* The page is focused on the "src/filesystem" directory, which contains code and configurations for a file system MCP server.
* The file system MCP server enables operations on files and directories, including reading, writing, creating, listing, moving, searching, and retrieving metadata.
* The server only permits actions within specified directories.
* The page also includes information on how to use the server with Claude Desktop, including configuration details and Docker build instructions.

* The project is licensed under the MIT License.


šŸ” Main Findings:
* The repository contains a functional file system MCP server implemented in Node.js.
* The provided configuration examples for Docker and NPX indicate how to set up and run the server.

* The README.md file comprehensively documents the server's features, API, and usage.


šŸ“Š Details:
* The file system MCP server supports various tools such as read\file, read\multiple\files, write\file, edit\file, create\directory, list\directory, move\file, search\files, and get\file\_info.
* The edit\_file tool supports line-based and multi-line content matching, whitespace normalization, fuzzy matching, multiple edits, indentation preservation, Git-style diff output, dry run mode, and debugging.
* Claude Desktop usage involves specifying a command (e.g., "docker" or "npx") and arguments, including directory mappings.

* Docker build command: docker build -t mcp/filesystem -f src/filesystem/Dockerfile .


šŸŽÆ Conclusion:
The webpage provides access to the source code and documentation for a file system MCP server, enabling developers to integrate file system operations into applications using the Model Context Protocol. The comprehensive documentation and configuration examples facilitate easy setup and use.
