Frequently asked questions

What are the required dependencies?

FastMCP, Pydantic, and platform-specific libraries: pywin32 and WMI on Windows only.

How do I integrate this server with Claude?

Add a entry to `claude_desktop_config.json` with the `command` pointing to your Python executable and `args` containing the path to `fs_server.py`. Example for Windows: `"command": "C:\\Users\\YourUsername\\...\\python.exe"`, `"args": ["C:\\Users\\...\\fs_server.py"]`.

What are the known issues?

The `delete_file` function may fail in some cases, and `list_drives` may not detect all drives correctly. Windows-specific features are unavailable on macOS/Linux.

Where are file collections stored?

Collections are stored in a user-specified directory. If no location is given, they default to `data/collections` within the project folder.

Does File System MCP Server work on macOS and Linux?

Yes, basic file and directory operations are supported. Windows-specific features (drive listing, special folders, detailed system info) are not available on macOS/Linux.
