fileman
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., "@filemanorganize my Downloads folder"
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.
fileman is a local-first file organizer. Drop a messy folder. Get a manifest, a plan, and a one-click apply. Your originals never move until you say so.

└──────────────────────────────────────┘AI-assisted file triage. Manifest-first, never destructive.
What You Get
Surface | What |
| Scan, plan, manifest. Apply only when you nod. |
| Browse the plan. Approve, edit, or send back for another pass. |
| Same engine, exposed as an MCP server for any agent. |
| Plans are diffable. Plans are reviewable. Plans are receipts. |
| Drop into Claude/Codex/OpenClaw. Hand it a folder. Get a library. |
Local-first by default. No silent telemetry. No cloud round-trip. Your data stays on your machine until you explicitly ship it somewhere.

Install
git clone https://github.com/xiaojiou176-open/fileman.git
cd fileman
# follow the per-stack quickstart in INSTALL.md or docs/Three commands. No curl | sh. No login. Read what you run.
Install break? Open your favorite agent and say "Read AGENTS.md and bootstrap fileman for me." Agent fix own brain. Long version: docs/.
How It Work
The repo is seven layers — exactly the seven commits in git log. New work goes in as small named PRs. No 50-file mystery commits.
Layer | What |
| License, governance, hygiene gates, CI scaffolding. |
| The primary engine. The reason fileman exists. |
| Packages, adapters, services, plugins. The second floor. |
| Schemas, configs, public boundaries. Other code talks here. |
| Receipts. Everything in this layer must run. |
| Scripts, infra, CI helpers, build glue. |
| Public docs surface. The pretty face. |
git log reads like a building floor plan. Look once, know the whole shape.
Ecosystem
fileman lives in the yard family: seven yards. one philosophy: structured input, structured output, structured proof.
Repo | What |
model & agent runtime switch board | |
your AI clicks, your browser obeys | |
your Apple Notes never really die | |
let prices fight, you sit and watch | |
docs site in, markdown out, no scraping by hand | |
fileman (you here) | messy folders in, organized library out |
every claim ships with its receipt |
Cross-family taste: BeamMe · BrewMe · OpenVibeCoding · proofyard.
