FAQ from MCP File Server

What are the prerequisites for MCP File Server?

Node.js version 16 or higher, npm or yarn, and Git (for Git functionality).

How do I set the base directory from chat?

Use the set_base_directory tool by asking the AI assistant, for example “Set the base directory to C:/Users/username/Documents”. Provide an absolute path.

What security features does MCP File Server include?

It performs robust path validation to prevent directory traversal attacks, normalizes and resolves file paths carefully, validates commands to prevent injection, and logs all operations to a debug file.

Can MCP File Server be extended with new functionality?

Yes. The modular architecture allows adding new services in the services/ directory, registering new tools in toolService.js, and updating mcp_server.js.

How do I integrate MCP File Server with Claude Desktop or Cursor?

Add a JSON configuration object like the one in the README under “Configuration Object Example”, specifying the command, script path, and auto-approved tools.
