Integrations
Enables filesystem operations on Linux systems, including reading/writing files, managing directories, and searching files with specific run instructions for Linux environments.
Supports filesystem operations on macOS, with specific run instructions for accessing and manipulating files and directories on Apple's operating system.
Provides a Node.js server implementation of the MCP protocol for filesystem operations, enabling reading, writing, and managing files and directories.
Filesystem MCP Server SSE
Node.js server SSE implementing Model Context Protocol (MCP) for filesystem operations.
Features
- Read/write files
- Create/list/delete directories
- Move files/directories
- Search files
- Get file metadata
Note: The server will only allow operations within directories specified via args
.

Tools
- read_file
- Read complete contents of a file
- Input:
path
(string) - Reads complete file contents with UTF-8 encoding
- read_multiple_files
- Read multiple files simultaneously
- Input:
paths
(string[]) - Failed reads won't stop the entire operation
- write_file
- Create new file or overwrite existing (exercise caution with this)
- Inputs:
path
(string): File locationcontent
(string): File content
- edit_file
- Make selective edits using advanced pattern matching and formatting
- Features:
- Line-based and multi-line content matching
- Whitespace normalization with indentation preservation
- Multiple simultaneous edits with correct positioning
- Indentation style detection and preservation
- Git-style diff output with context
- Preview changes with dry run mode
- Inputs:
path
(string): File to editedits
(array): List of edit operationsoldText
(string): Text to search for (can be substring)newText
(string): Text to replace with
dryRun
(boolean): Preview changes without applying (default: false)
- Returns detailed diff and match information for dry runs, otherwise applies changes
- Best Practice: Always use dryRun first to preview changes before applying them
- create_directory
- Create new directory or ensure it exists
- Input:
path
(string) - Creates parent directories if needed
- Succeeds silently if directory exists
- list_directory
- List directory contents with [FILE] or [DIR] prefixes
- Input:
path
(string)
- move_file
- Move or rename files and directories
- Inputs:
source
(string)destination
(string)
- Fails if destination exists
- search_files
- Recursively search for files/directories
- Inputs:
path
(string): Starting directorypattern
(string): Search patternexcludePatterns
(string[]): Exclude any patterns. Glob formats are supported.
- Case-insensitive matching
- Returns full paths to matches
- get_file_info
- Get detailed file/directory metadata
- Input:
path
(string) - Returns:
- Size
- Creation time
- Modified time
- Access time
- Type (file/directory)
- Permissions
- list_allowed_directories
- List all directories the server is allowed to access
- No input required
- Returns:
- Directories that this server can read/write from
