The MCP Filesystem Server is a Go-based server that implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide secure and comprehensive access to the local filesystem. It enables various filesystem operations such as reading, writing, copying, moving, deleting files and directories, as well as searching and retrieving metadata. The server exposes these functionalities through MCP resources and tools, allowing clients to interact with the filesystem in a controlled and secure manner. Key features include secure access to specified directories with path validation to prevent directory traversal attacks, symlink resolution with security checks, and MIME type detection. It supports handling of text, binary, and image files, with size limits for inline content and base64 encoding. The server can be run as a standalone application or integrated as a library in Go projects. It also supports deployment via Docker, facilitating easy integration with MCP-compatible applications. The server provides a rich set of file operations such as reading single or multiple files, writing or overwriting files, copying, moving, deleting files or directories, and modifying file contents using string matching or regex. Directory operations include listing directory contents, creating directories, and generating hierarchical JSON representations of directory structures. Search capabilities allow recursive searching for files and directories by pattern, as well as searching within file contents. This project is designed to be a secure and flexible MCP server for filesystem access, making it suitable for applications that require controlled and programmatic interaction with the local filesystem through the MCP standard. It emphasizes security, ease of use, and integration flexibility, supporting both direct command-line usage and embedding within other Go applications.
