Overview

MCP Filesystem is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built with the mcp-framework, designed to facilitate the development and management of tools within a filesystem context.

To use MCP Filesystem, install the dependencies using npm install, build the project with npm run build, and configure it with your Claude Desktop client.

  • Built with the mcp-framework for easy tool development - Supports adding custom tools via CLI - Integration with Claude Desktop for local development
  1. Developing custom tools for data processing
  2. Creating API clients for various services
  3. Managing files and directories through custom commands

Use these steps to connect filesystem in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-filesystem-quantgeekdev"
      ]
    }
  }
}
