Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@@rog0x/mcp-file-toolsCount lines of code in ./src"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
@rog0x/mcp-file-tools
MCP server providing file and directory analysis tools for AI agents. Gives Claude (and other MCP-compatible AI) the ability to explore, analyze, and search file systems.
Tools
Tool | Description |
| Generate a visual directory tree structure with configurable depth and ignore patterns |
| Analyze a directory: total files, size breakdown by extension, largest/newest/oldest files |
| Find duplicate files by size + MD5 hash, report wasted space |
| Count lines of code by language: code, comments, and blank lines (like cloc/scc) |
| Search files by name glob, content regex, size range, and date range |
