write_file

Write content to a specified file on the Filesystem MCP Server. Creates or overwrites the file and necessary directories based on provided relative or absolute paths.

Instructions

Writes content to a specified file. Creates the file (and necessary directories) if it doesn't exist, or overwrites it if it does. Accepts relative or absolute paths (resolved like readFile).

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description	Default
`content`	Yes	The content to write to the file. If the file exists, it will be overwritten.
`path`	Yes	The path to the file to write. Can be relative or absolute. If relative, it resolves against the path set by `set_filesystem_default`. If absolute, it is used directly. Missing directories will be created.
