## What is this?
|
|
15
|
+
|
|
16
|
+
[Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) is how AI apps
|
|
17
|
+
such as Claude, GitHub Copilot in VS Code, and Cursor connect to tools.
|
|
18
|
+
Filesystem MCP is an MCP server: a small program that runs on your computer
|
|
19
|
+
and gives the AI 13 tools for working with files. You choose which folders it
|
|
20
|
+
can use, and everything outside them is off limits.
|
|
21
|
+
|
|
22
|
+
Once it is connected, you can ask things like:
|
|
23
|
+
|
|
24
|
+
- _"Find every TODO in this repo and group them by file."_
|
|
25
|
+
- _"Rename `getUser` to `fetchUser` in all `.ts` files. Show me the diff first."_
|
|
26
|
+
- _"What changed between `config.dev.json` and `config.prod.json`?"_
|
|
27
|
+
- _"Read the last 50 lines of `server.log` and explain the error."_
|
|
28
|
+
- _"Move the old screenshots into `archive/2025/`."_
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
## Why Filesystem MCP?
|
|
31
|
+
|
|
32
|
+
- It is safe by default. The AI can use only the folders you allow, and
|
|
33
|
+
`.env` files, private keys, and cloud credentials are blocked. The server
|
|
34
|
+
asks you before the AI deletes a non-empty folder, opens a folder you did
|
|
35
|
+
not allow, or writes over a file with `create` or `move`. Only `create` and
|
|
36
|
+
copies can skip that question, by passing `overwrite: true`. Edits made with
|
|
37
|
+
`edit`, `patch`, and `replace_text` apply without asking, but the AI can
|
|
38
|
+
show you the diff first with `dryRun`. If the AI should never change
|
|
39
|
+
anything, `--read-only` removes every tool that writes.
|
|
40
|
+
- Search and editing are made for code. The AI can search inside files like
|
|
41
|
+
`grep`, with a regex engine (RE2) that cannot hang, and by default the
|
|
42
|
+
server skips `.gitignore`d files and folders like `node_modules`. Edits are
|
|
43
|
+
exact-match replacements that fail loudly instead of guessing, and you can
|
|
44
|
+
preview them as a diff first.
|
|
45
|
+
- It goes easy on the AI's context. The AI can read many files in one call or
|
|
46
|
+
only the lines it needs, and it can check a file's size and token estimate
|
|
47
|
+
before reading it.
|
|
48
|
+
- It works with any MCP client, over stdio or HTTP, on macOS, Linux, and
|
|
49
|
+
Windows. You can install it with npx, Docker, or a one-click Claude Desktop
|
|
50
|
+
extension, or [build your own client](#build-your-own-client) on it.
|
|
51
|
+
- It is private: it runs on your machine, has no telemetry, and makes no
|
|
52
|
+
network calls.
|
|
53
|
+
|
|
54

+

1. Add the server to your AI app. Pick yours below.
|
|
80
|
+
2. Replace `/path/to/project` with the folder the AI may use. You can list
|
|
81
|
+
several folders.
|
|
82
|
+
3. Restart the app and ask: _"Which folders can you access?"_

|
|
85
|
+
> VS Code currently shares the folders you have open with the server, so the

|
86
|
+
> one-click VS Code install works without a path. In other apps, or over HTTP,
|
|
87
|
+
> put the folder in `args`. If the AI says it has no folders, that is the fix.

## Configuration
|
|
329
|
-
|
|
330
|
-
The server starts with allowed directories from explicit startup configuration:
|
|
331
|
-
|
|
332
|
-
1. **Positional directories** passed to `filesystem-mcp`.
|
|
333
|
-
2. **Environment variable** `FS_ALLOWED_DIRS` (separated by `:` on POSIX or `;` on Windows).
|
|
334
|
-
3. **Current working directory** when `--allow-cwd` is enabled.
|
|
335
|
-
|
|
336
|
-
When `--root-boundary` / `FS_ROOT_BOUNDARY` is set, a configured root that
|
|
337
|
-
does not fall under it is skipped at startup with a warning; only roots under
|
|
338
|
-
the boundary (and later grants under it) are allowed.
|
|
339
|
-
|
|
340
|
-
Legacy MCP connections may additionally seed roots through the deprecated
|
|
341
|
-
`roots/list` flow. Modern 2026-07-28 connections do not automatically send
|
|
342
|
-
workspace roots. They can add access after startup by calling a tool with a
|
|
343
|
-
concrete path and approving the elicitation-backed grant. `list_roots` reports
|
|
344
|
-
the roots already configured or accepted; it cannot discover an unknown
|
|
345
|
-
workspace by itself.
|
|
346
|
-
|
|
347
|
-
Over HTTP, 2025-era clients are served statelessly: tools, resources and
|
|
348
|
-
prompts work. Confirmations (recursive delete, overwrite, access grants) need a
|
|
349
|
-
2026-07-28 client or stdio and answer with a tool error saying so; file
|
|
350
|
-
subscriptions are not advertised on that leg, and a `resources/subscribe` sent
|
|
351
|
-
anyway is refused with method-not-found.
|
|

|
|
258
|
+
| `list_roots` | Shows the folders the server may use. |
|
|
259
|
+
| `list` | Lists a folder as a tree, like `ls` or `tree`. |
|
|
260
|
+
| `find_files` | Finds files by name or glob, such as `**/*.test.ts`. |
|
|
261
|
+
| `search_text` | Searches inside files for text or a regex, like `grep`, with optional context lines. |
|
|
262
|
+
| `stat` | Gets size, dates, type, permissions, and a token estimate without reading the file. |
|
|
263
|
+
| `read` | Reads one or many text files, whole or by line range, head, or tail. Images and audio come back as media. |
|
|
264
|
+
| `diff` | Compares two files and returns a unified diff. |
|
|
265
|
+
| `create` ✎ | Writes new files, or appends to them. Asks before replacing an existing file, unless `overwrite: true`. |
|
|
266
|
+
| `edit` ✎ | Replaces exact text in files. All edits to a file apply, or none do. `dryRun` shows the diff first. |
|
|
267
|
+
| `patch` ✎ | Applies a unified diff to a file. All hunks apply, or none do. |
|
|
268
|
+
| `replace_text` ✎ | Finds and replaces text or a regex across many files. `dryRun` shows what would change. |
|
|
269
|
+
| `move` ✎ | Moves, renames, or copies files and folders. Asks before overwriting, unless a copy passes `overwrite: true`. |
|
|
270
|
+
| `delete` ✎ | Deletes files and folders. Asks before deleting a non-empty folder. |
|
|
371
271
|

✎ changes files. `--read-only` removes these tools.
|
|
373
273
|
|
|
374
|
-
|
|
274
|
+
Search and listing tools skip hidden files, `.gitignore`d files, and folders
|
|
275
|
+
like `node_modules`, `dist`, and `.git` unless the AI asks for them.

| `--read-only` | Removes every tool that changes files. |
|
|
285
|
+
| `--deny '<pattern>'` | Blocks more files, for example `--deny 'private/**'` or `--deny '*.sqlite'`. |
|
|
286
|
+
| `--allow '<pattern>'` | Unblocks one built-in secret pattern, for example `--allow '.env.example'`. |
|
|
287
|
+
| `--allow-cwd` | Also allows the folder the server was started from. |
|
|
288
|
+
| `--max-file-size <n>` | Largest file `read` will load, in bytes. Default 10 MiB. |
|
|
289
|
+
| `--port <n>` | Serves over HTTP at `http://127.0.0.1:<n>/mcp` instead of stdio. |
|
|
290
|

448
|
-
| `FS_LOG_LEVEL` | RFC 5424 log level: `debug`, `info`, `notice`, `warn`/`warning`, `error`, `critical`, `alert`, or `emergency` (mirrors `--log-level`). |

| Protection | How it works |
|
|
302
|
+
| :----------------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
303
|
+
| Folder sandbox | The server resolves every path, including symlinks, and the resolved path must stay inside an allowed folder. |
|
|
304
|
+
| Secret files | `.env`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, SSH keys, `.npmrc`, cloud credentials, and [more](docs/configuration.md#secret-files) are blocked and hidden from listings. |
|
|
305
|
+
| You stay in charge | The server asks you before the AI deletes a non-empty folder, gets access to a new folder, or writes over a file with `create` or `move`. Only `create` and copies skip that question, when the AI passes `overwrite: true`. In-place edits (`edit`, `patch`, `replace_text`) do not ask, but `dryRun` previews them. A client that cannot ask gets a clear error instead. |
|
|
306
|
+
| Off-limits folders | Neither the AI nor the client can ever add your home folder itself, system folders, or `~/.ssh`, `~/.aws`, and similar folders. |
|
|
307
|
+
| Safe writes | New content goes to a temporary file that is then renamed into place, so a crash never leaves a half-written file. Writes keep the file's permissions. |
|
|
308
|
+
| No regex hangs | RE2 runs in linear time, so no search pattern can freeze the server. |
|
|
309
|
+
| HTTP | The server listens only on localhost by default. Any other address requires an API key. |
|
|
310
|
+
| Container | The Docker image runs as a non-root user. |

If you find a vulnerability, please report it privately.

|

[SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) explains how.
|
|
314
|
+
|
|
315
|
+
## Build your own client
|
|
316
|
+
|
|
317
|
+
You can also call Filesystem MCP from your own code: an agent, an editor
|
|
318
|
+
plugin, a web app, a CI job, or a script. The same rules apply as for an AI
|
|
319
|
+
app, so your code cannot reach outside the allowed folders or read secret
|
|
320
|
+
files.
|
|
321
|
+
|
|
322
|
+
```ts
|
|
323
|
+
import { Client } from '@modelcontextprotocol/client';
|
|
324
|
+
import { StdioClientTransport } from '@modelcontextprotocol/client/stdio';
|
|
325
|
+
|
|
326
|
+
const dir = '/path/to/project';
|
|
327
|
+
const client = new Client(
|
|
328
|
+
{ name: 'my-app', version: '1.0.0' },
|
|
329
|
+
{ capabilities: { elicitation: { form: {} } }, versionNegotiation: { mode: 'auto' } },
|
|
330
|
+
);
|
|
331
|
+
client.setRequestHandler('elicitation/create', async () => ({ action: 'decline' }));
|
|
332
|
+
await client.connect(
|
|
333
|
+
new StdioClientTransport({
|
|
334
|
+
command: 'npx',
|
|
335
|
+
args: ['-y', '@j0hanz/filesystem-mcp', dir],
|
|
336
|
+
cwd: dir,
|
|
337
|
+
}),
|
|
338
|
+
);
|
|
339
|
+
|
|
340
|
+
const result = await client.callTool({ name: 'search_text', arguments: { searchPattern: 'TODO' } });
|
|
341
|
+
const { matches } = (result.structuredContent ?? result._meta) as { matches: unknown[] };
|
|
342
|
+
console.log(matches);
|
|
343
|
+
await client.close(); // stops the server process; without it the script never exits

The basics:
|
|
347
|
+
|
|
348
|
+
- **Where the data is.** The text block is written for a model. The same data
|
|
349
|
+
as JSON is in `_meta` for tools that write their own text (`list`,
|
|
350
|
+
`search_text`, `edit`, ...) and in `structuredContent` for `stat`,
|
|
351
|
+
`create`, and `list_roots`. `read` is the exception: the file's text is
|
|
352
|
+
only in the text block, and `_meta` holds metadata about it.
|
|
353
|
+
- **Paths.** Relative paths resolve against the server's working directory,
|
|
354
|
+
not its root: set `cwd` over stdio, and send absolute paths over HTTP.
|
|
355
|
+
- **Confirmations.** Overwrites, recursive deletes, and paths outside the
|
|
356
|
+
roots are questions for the user. Declare the `elicitation` capability and
|
|
357
|
+
answer them in a handler, or, on the 2026-07-28 protocol, take them as data
|
|
358
|
+
(`input_required`) and answer later.
|
|
359
|
+
- **Protocol versions.** The server speaks the 2025 protocol and 2026-07-28,
|
|
360
|
+
over stdio and Streamable HTTP. Over HTTP, 2025-era clients get no
|
|
361
|
+
confirmations or change notifications.
|
|
362
|
+
- **Resources.** Read and subscribe to any file as
|
|
363
|
+
`filesystem-mcp://file/{+path}`; `internal://instructions` and the
|
|
364
|
+
`get-help` prompt hold the server's guide for models.
|
|
365
|
+
|
|
366
|
+
The [client guide](docs/client-guide.md) has the details, tested with the
|
|
367
|
+
TypeScript and Python SDKs, and [`examples/`](examples/) has six runnable
|
|

| [tail](examples/clients/tail/) | `tail -f` through file subscriptions, locally or on a remote server |
|
|
375
|

| [gatekeeper](examples/clients/gatekeeper/) | A coding agent that shows each change's diff and waits for your y/N |
|
|
376
|
+
| [hooks](examples/clients/hooks/) | Runs a task through a model whenever the workspace changes |
|

Filesystem MCP runs entirely on your machine. This policy covers the npm
|
|
382
|
+
package, the Docker image, and the `.mcpb` desktop extension.
|
|
383
|
+
|
|
384
|
+
- **Data collection:** none. The server has no telemetry, analytics, or crash
|
|
385
|
+
reporting, and makes no outbound network requests.
|
|
386
|
+
- **Use and storage:** files are read and written only inside the folders you
|
|
387
|
+
allow, and only when your MCP client calls a tool. Tool results go to that
|
|
388
|
+
client and nowhere else. Short-lived result caches live in memory and
|
|
389
|
+
disappear when the server exits.
|
|
390
|
+
- **Third-party sharing:** none by this server. Your MCP client may send tool
|
|
391
|
+
results to its model provider under that client's own privacy policy.
|
|
392
|
+
- **Retention:** nothing is kept after the process exits. Diagnostic logs go to
|
|
393
|
+
stderr on your machine; your MCP client may save them in its own log files.
