$ npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /allowed/pathAbout
Official MCP server that exposes the local filesystem to agents with fine-grained, path-scoped access. Read, write, search, and list files without broad shell permissions.
The Filesystem MCP is the canonical way to give an agent scoped access to your disk.
Key capabilities:
- Read and write files inside allow-listed directories only
- Glob-based file search and metadata inspection
- Directory listing with depth limits
- Automatic rejection of paths outside configured roots
Typical use: local development agents, documentation pipelines, and scripted refactors where shell access is too broad.
