Overview

What is Filesystem MCP Server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides file system operations, analysis, and manipulation capabilities through a standardized tool interface. It is designed for applications needing to interact with the local file system programmatically.

How to use Filesystem MCP Server?

Clone the repository, install dependencies (npm install --save @modelcontextprotocol/sdk chardet mime-types archiver extract-zip file-type), build with npm run build, then configure MCP settings in cline_mcp_settings.json with the node command pointing to the built index.js file.

Key features of Filesystem MCP Server

  • Directory listing with metadata (recursive)
  • File read, write, and append with encoding support
  • Text analysis (line, word, character counts, encoding)
  • File hashing (MD5, SHA1, SHA256, SHA512)
  • Duplicate file detection
  • ZIP creation and extraction

Use cases of Filesystem MCP Server

  • Automating file and directory management in scripts
  • Analyzing text file properties and encoding
  • Detecting duplicate files in large directories
  • Compressing or extracting archives programmatically
  • Building MCP hosts that require file system access

Frequently asked questions

1

What dependencies does it require?

@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, chardet, mime-types, archiver, extract-zip, file-type, crypto-js, and iconv-lite for core operations.

2

How is the server configured?

It is configured via MCP settings (e.g., `cline_mcp_settings.json`) with the `command` set to `node` and `args` pointing to the built `index.js` file.

3

What error codes does it use?

Standard MCP error codes: ParseError (-32700), InvalidRequest (-32600), MethodNotFound (-32601), InvalidParams (-32602), InternalError (-32603). Error responses include code, message, and optional context.

4

Can it handle different file encodings?

Yes — read, write, and append operations support an optional `encoding` parameter (default UTF-8), and encoding detection is provided via the `chardet` library.

5

What file operations are supported?

Directory operations (list, create), file operations (read, write, append), analysis (text analysis, hashing, duplicate detection), and compression (create ZIP, extract ZIP).
