Overview

This extension allows Claude to interact with your local filesystem, enabling it to read and write files directly. This can be useful for tasks such as file management, data processing, and automation of repetitive tasks. The extension provides a set of tools that can be used to navigate directories, read file contents, and write new files or modify existing ones.

Underneath the hood, it uses @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem.

About this extension

This is one of the official reference examples from the Model Context Protocol MCPB repository — the format used to package MCP servers as one-click desktop extensions for Claude Desktop.

Installing

Download or build the .mcpb (formerly .dxt) bundle from the source repository, then drag it into Claude Desktop under Settings → Extensions to install.
