Filesystem MCP Server
the six Ws · specification
Reference server from the Model Context Protocol project.
Read, write, list, and search files within explicitly allowed directories.
Runs locally as a Node process next to your files.
Whenever an agent must touch the local filesystem safely.
Grants file access without handing an agent your whole machine.
Node.js and an allow-list of directories.
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.
