MCP-Delete

# @qpd-v/mcp-delete [](https://smithery.ai/server/@qpd-v/mcp-delete) A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides file deletion capabilities. This server allows AI assistants to safely delete files when needed, with support for both relative and absolute paths. ## Features - Delete files using relative or absolute paths - Smart path resolution that tries multiple potential paths - Clear error messages with detailed path resolution information - Safe file existence checks before deletion - Works with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants ## Examples ### Using with Claude Desktop  ### Using with VSCode Roo Cline Extension  ## Installation ### Installing via Smithery To install File Deletion for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/@qpd-v/mcp-delete): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install @qpd-v/mcp-delete --client claude ``` ### Manual Installation ```bash npx @qpd-v/mcp-delete ``` Or install globally: ```bash npm install -g @qpd-v/mcp-delete ``` ## Configuration ### Claude Desktop Add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file: Windows: ```json // %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-delete": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"] } } } ``` MacOS: ```json // ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-delete": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"] } } } } ``` ### VSCode Extension Add the server configuration to your Cline settings: Windows: ```json // %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-delete": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"] } } } ``` MacOS: ```json // ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json { "mcpServers": { "mcp-delete": { "command": "npx", "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"] } } } } ``` ## Available Tools ### delete_file Deletes a file at the specified path. Parameters: - `path` (string, required): Path to the file to delete (relative to working directory or absolute) Example usage in Claude: ``` You can ask me to delete a file like this: "Please delete the file example.txt" I will use the delete_file tool to safely remove the file. ``` ## Path Resolution The server intelligently handles path resolution by trying multiple approaches: 1. The exact path as provided 2. Path relative to the current working directory 3. Path relative to a specified base directory This makes it more user-friendly as files can be referenced by relative paths and the server will attempt to locate them correctly. ## Development Clone the repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/qpd-v/mcp-delete.git cd mcp-delete ``` Install dependencies: ```bash npm install ``` Build the server: ```bash npm run build ``` For development with auto-rebuild: ```bash npm run watch ``` ### Debugging Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. Use the MCP Inspector for debugging: ```bash npm run inspector ``` This will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser. ## License MIT ## Author qpd-v
