Server Configuration

Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
WORKSPACE_MCP_CONFIGNoPath to YAML/JSON configuration file
WORKSPACE_MCP_WORKSPACE_ROOTNoBase sandboxed directory for all operations (default: ./workspace)
WORKSPACE_MCP_MAX_FILE_SIZE_BYTESNoFile size write limit (default: 10485760)
WORKSPACE_MCP_REQUIRE_OVERWRITE_CONFIRMATIONNoEnforces confirmation on file overwrite/delete (default: true)

Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.

Tools

Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions

NameDescription
create_projectA

Create a new project inside the workspace with a conventional folder structure (frontend/backend/database/docker/scripts/tests/ docs/assets/config by default) plus .gitignore, Dockerfile, docker-compose.yml, README.md, CLOUD.md and PROJECT_TREE.md.

Args: name: Project (top-level directory) name. Letters, numbers, spaces, '.', '-', '_' only. structure: Optional custom list of subfolder names, replacing the default 9-folder scaffold. description: One-paragraph description used in README/CLOUD.md. include_docker: Whether to generate Dockerfile + docker-compose.yml.

delete_projectA

Permanently delete an entire project directory and everything in it.

Args: name: Project name to delete. confirm: Must be explicitly set to True; this is irreversible.

rename_projectA

Rename (move) a project directory within the workspace.

Args: old_name: Current project name. new_name: New project name. overwrite: If True, replace an existing project at new_name.

create_directoryA

Create a directory (and any missing parents) inside the workspace.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root, e.g. "MyApp/backend/api". exist_ok: If False, error when the directory already exists.

delete_directoryA

Delete a directory inside the workspace.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root. confirm: Must be explicitly True; this is irreversible. recursive: If True (default), delete all contents too. If False, only succeeds when the directory is empty.

list_directoryA

List the immediate contents of a directory inside the workspace.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root (default: workspace root). include_hidden: If True, include dotfiles/dotfolders.

create_fileA

Create a new file with the given content inside the workspace.

Fails with DUPLICATE_FILE if the file already exists unless overwrite=True is passed.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root, e.g. "MyApp/backend/main.py". content: Full text content of the file. overwrite: If True, replace an existing file at this path.

read_fileA

Read the full text content of a file inside the workspace.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root.

write_fileA

Overwrite a file's entire content (creating it if it doesn't exist).

If the file already exists, confirm=True is required (unless the server's require_overwrite_confirmation setting is disabled).

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root. content: New full text content of the file. confirm: Must be True to overwrite an existing file.

append_fileA

Append text to the end of an existing file.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root. The file must already exist. content: Text to append.

update_fileA

Update part or all of an existing file.

Use EITHER (find, replace) for a literal text substitution, OR new_content for a full rewrite -- do not pass both.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root. Must already exist. find: Literal text to search for (mutually exclusive with new_content). replace: Replacement text for every match of find (default: ""). new_content: Full replacement content for the file. count: Max number of find occurrences to replace (-1 = all).

move_fileA

Move (or move+rename) a file to a new location within the workspace.

Args: source_path: Current path, relative to the workspace root. destination_path: New path, relative to the workspace root. overwrite: If True, replace an existing file at the destination.

rename_fileA

Rename a file in place (keeping it in the same directory).

Args: path: Current path, relative to the workspace root. new_name: New filename (not a full path) -- e.g. "app.py". overwrite: If True, replace an existing file with that name.

delete_fileA

Permanently delete a file inside the workspace.

Args: path: Path relative to the workspace root. confirm: Must be explicitly True; this is irreversible.

search_filesA

Find files by glob pattern (e.g. ".py", "**/.test.ts").

Args: pattern: Glob pattern, evaluated relative to root. root: Directory to search under, relative to the workspace root. max_results: Cap on number of matches returned.

find_textA

Search file contents for a literal text string (grep-like).

Args: query: Literal text to search for. root: Directory to search under, relative to the workspace root. extensions: Optional list like [".py", ".ts"] to restrict the search. case_sensitive: Whether the match is case sensitive. max_results: Cap on number of matching lines returned.

project_treeA

Render a visual ASCII tree of a directory's contents (not saved to disk).

Args: path: Directory to render, relative to the workspace root.

generate_readmeB

(Re)generate README.md for a project with the standard sections: description, features, folder structure, installation, usage, dependencies, configuration, tech stack, future improvements, license.

Args: project_path: Path to the project directory, relative to the workspace root.

generate_cloud_logA

(Re)generate CLOUD.md -- the AI work log explaining exactly what was generated in this project and why: goal, architecture decisions, files created/updated, implementation notes, known limitations, and future work.

Args: project_path: Path to the project directory, relative to the workspace root.

generate_project_treeA

(Re)generate PROJECT_TREE.md, a saved visual ASCII tree of the project.

Args: project_path: Path to the project directory, relative to the workspace root.

validate_workspaceA

Report the current workspace configuration and health: root directory, whether it exists/is writable, size limits, and allowed extensions.

validate_pathA

Check whether a given relative path is valid and safe (no traversal, stays within the workspace, no symlink escape) without performing any read/write operation.

Args: path: Path to validate, relative to the workspace root.
