Secure file operations with configurable access controls
About
The Filesystem MCP Server provides secure file operations with configurable access controls. It allows your AI assistant to read, write, search, and manage files within directories you explicitly allow.
Part of the official MCP reference servers, this is one of the most fundamental building blocks for AI workflows. It supports directory listing, file search, move/copy operations, and content reading with strict path restrictions.
Every file operation is sandboxed to the directories you configure. The server cannot access files outside the allowed paths, making it safe for use with sensitive project structures.
How to Install
Add this to your MCP configuration file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem": {
"env": {},
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
"/path/to/allowed/directory"
],
"command": "npx"
}
}
