Overview

MCP Server is a collection of Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers designed for local execution, enabling developers to perform file operations and execute commands without needing an API key.

To use MCP Server, clone the repository, build the desired server, and configure it with the Claude Desktop App to integrate local command execution and file manipulation.

Local execution of commands and file operations. - Integration with Claude Desktop App for enhanced functionality. - Multiple server options including filesystem and command execution servers.

Managing local files through the Claude Desktop App.

Use these steps to connect MCP Server 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-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

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

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

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

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

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

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-local-servers-anishgowda21"
