MCP File Explorer

MCP File Explorer

This project is my first MCP server that I built to learn how to connect an AI to local files.

Why this project?

I am a Big Data student in Kenitra and I wanted to understand how Claude can access my computer via the MCP protocol. This project taught me how to create an MCP server from scratch.

Related MCP server: Claude-LMStudio-Bridge

What this project does

It allows Claude to read .txt, .csv, and .md files on my computer using the MCP protocol.

How I built this

  1. I created an MCP server with Node.js

  2. I created a tool called lire_fichier

  3. I tested it with Anthropic's official MCP inspector

Installation

npm install node server.js

What I learned

  • How the MCP protocol works

  • The difference between client, server, and tool

  • How to connect an AI to the file system

Next step

Project 2 — connect Claude to a SQLite database

Technical stack

  • Node.js

  • Anthropic MCP SDK

  • Zod

  • JavaScript
