Overview

What is filesystem?

filesystem is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server template built with the mcp‑framework. It provides a starting point for developers to create custom MCP tools and integrate them with Claude Desktop.

How to use filesystem?

Install dependencies with npm install, build with npm run build, then add the server to your Claude Desktop configuration file (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json, Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json) using a node command for local development or npx after publishing.

Key features of filesystem

  • Built‑in example tool ready to extend.
  • CLI command to add new tools (mcp add tool <name>).
  • Schema validation via Zod for tool inputs.
  • Designed for easy publishing to npm.
  • Configured to work with Claude Desktop out‑of‑the‑box.

Use cases of filesystem

  • Creating a custom data‑processing tool.
  • Building an API client as an MCP tool.
  • Developing a file‑handler tool.
  • Prototyping new MCP tools before publishing.
  • Learning how to develop and deploy MCP servers.

FAQ from filesystem

How do I add a new tool?

Use the CLI command mcp add tool <name> from the project root.

How do I publish filesystem to npm?

Update package.json, run npm run build, then npm login and npm publish. After publishing, users can run it with npx filesystem.

How do I configure filesystem for Claude Desktop?

Add a JSON entry under mcpServers in the Claude Desktop config file. For local development use "command": "node" with the path to dist/index.js; after publishing use "command": "npx" with "args": ["filesystem"].

What runtime does filesystem require?

Node.js is required; the project uses TypeScript and is built with npm run build.

What is mcp‑framework?

mcp‑framework is a library for building MCP servers, available at https://github.com/QuantGeekDev/mcp-framework.
