   pip install -e .

3. Install development dependencies (optional):

   pip install -e ".[dev]"

Testing

Run the test suite:

python -m pytest tests/

Or run tests directly:

python tests/test_file_operations.py

Claude Desktop Integration

1. Find your Claude Desktop config file:

   • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the server configuration:

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "file-operations": {
         "command": "/bin/bash",
         "args": ["/path/to/your/mcp/scripts/run_server.sh"]
       }
     }
   }

   Note: Update the path in args to match your actual installation directory.

3. Restart Claude Desktop to load the new server.

Usage

Once integrated, you can use commands like:

• "Read the file at /path/to/file.txt"

• "Write 'Hello World' to /path/to/output.txt"

• "List the contents of /path/to/directory"

• "Create a directory at /path/to/new/dir"

• "Delete the file /path/to/unwanted.txt"

• "Copy file from /source to /destination"

Security Notes

• The server has full file system access

• Only use with trusted content

• Consider restricting paths in production environments

Testing

Run the test suite:

python test_server.py

LangGraph Integration

This package includes a complete LangGraph integration that allows you to use MCP file operations as tools within LangGraph workflows.

Installation with LangGraph

# Install with LangGraph support
pip install -e ".[langgraph]"

Quick Start

import asyncio
from mcp_file_operations.integrations.langgraph_client import create_mcp_file_tools

async def example():
    # Create MCP file operation tools for LangGraph
    file_tools = create_mcp_file_tools()
    
    # Use tools in your LangGraph workflow
    write_tool = next(tool for tool in file_tools if tool.name == "write_file")
    result = await write_tool._arun(path="/tmp/test.txt", content="Hello LangGraph!")
    print(result)

asyncio.run(example())
