mcp-filesystem-server

MCP.Pizza Chef: qiangmzsx

The mcp-filesystem-server is a Go implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that allows large language models (LLMs) to seamlessly integrate with and access external filesystem data sources. It enables LLM applications to read, query, and interact with files and directories securely and efficiently, supporting multi-directory configurations. This server facilitates real-time context feeding from local or mounted filesystems into LLM workflows, enhancing AI-driven automation and data retrieval tasks.

Use This MCP server To

Expose local filesystem data to LLMs for real-time context Enable LLMs to read and query files and directories Integrate multiple directories as data sources for LLMs Support AI workflows requiring access to user files Facilitate secure file access within LLM applications Automate document retrieval and summarization from files

README

mcp-filesystem-server

A Go implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling seamless integration between LLM applications and external data sources and tools. The main purpose of implementing this project is to learn github.com/metoro-io/mcp-golang. There is already an mcp-filesystem-server in the github.com/mark3labs repository. This project is also implemented based on github.com/mark3labs/mcp-filesystem-server.

Usage

Install the server

go install github.com/qiangmzsx/mcp-filesystem-server

Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "mcp-filesystem-server",
      "args": [
        "/Users/username/Desktop",
        "/path/to/other/allowed/dir"
      ]
    }
  }
}
