Overview

MCP-Delete is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to enable AI assistants to securely delete files using both relative and absolute paths with intelligent path resolution.

To use MCP-Delete, you can install it via npm and configure it within compatible AI assistant environments like Claude Desktop or VSCode. Once set up, you can instruct your assistant to delete files by referencing them directly.

Capability to delete files at specified paths (relative or absolute) - Smart path resolution for enhanced user experience - Detailed error messages for easier troubleshooting - Safety checks for file existence prior to deletion - Compatibility with AI assistants like Claude and other MCP-compliant tools.

Efficiently removing temporary files during a project.
Managing file systems by inquiring AI assistants to delete outdated files.
Utilizing alongside development tools to automate file cleanup processes.
