About

Read, write, and search files on your local filesystem with configurable, scoped access. Grant the assistant explicit access to project directories to read source files, generate new files, edit in place, and search across a folder tree. Access is limited to the paths you allow — nothing outside them is reachable.

Example tools

Illustrative tool names — the actual tool set is defined by the server at runtime.

list_resources
Enumerate resources exposed by this MCP
get_resource
Fetch a resource by ID
invoke
Invoke the primary action of this MCP
