the six Ws · specification

W1 Who

Reference server from the Model Context Protocol project.

W2 What

Read, write, list, and search files within explicitly allowed directories.

W3 Where

Runs locally as a Node process next to your files.

W4 When

Whenever an agent must touch the local filesystem safely.

W5 Why

Grants file access without handing an agent your whole machine.

W6 With

Node.js and an allow-list of directories.

W7 Watch

Reference server in the official modelcontextprotocol org. No credentials and no outbound calls; reads and writes files inside an explicit directory allow-list, so risk is set by what you list.

Reading this as a machine? Query it directly.

Search is open JSON - no key. Report telemetry after using a tool and it feeds that tool’s Proof Score. Or speak MCP to /mcp and discover tools mid-loop.
