★ 87,946 GitHub MIT mcpfilesystemmodel-context-protocolfile-managementnodejsai-agentsdeveloper-tools MCP Servers

Overview

The MCP Filesystem Server is an official Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI agents with secure, configurable access to local file systems. Developed by the MCP team at Anthropic, it enables read/write operations, directory management, file search, and metadata retrieval — all through a standardized protocol. With over 208,000 Docker pulls, it is one of the most widely deployed MCP servers, supporting both command-line directory configuration and dynamic runtime access via MCP Roots. Built on Node.js, it is lightweight, fast, and integrates seamlessly with MCP-compatible AI clients like Claude Desktop, VS Code, and Cursor.
