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.
