FAQ from Gemini MCP File Agent (MVP)
What is the sandbox?
The sandbox is a specific folder you choose (default: ./mcp_data_sandbox/). The server can only touch files inside that folder for safety.
Why do I need an API key?
You need a Google AI API key from Google AI Studio to use Gemini. Set it as the environment variable GOOGLE_API_KEY.
Can Gemini access files outside the sandbox?
No. The mcp_server.py is designed to only access files inside the folder you pick as the sandbox.
How do I use a different sandbox folder?
Run python mcp_server.py --sandbox-dir ./my_files to use a custom folder instead of the default ./mcp_data_sandbox/.
Is this safe for production use?
No. The README states this is a basic example and cautions you to be careful about which folder the server accesses.
