### Description (declared)

# File Server MCP

An MCP server with 14 tools for managing UTF-8 text files within a configured workspace. No API key or external service is required.

## Install a published release

Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/). The distribution is `mcp-files-context`; the command is `mcp-files`:

```bash
uvx --python 3.13 --from mcp-files-context==0.2.0 mcp-files --workspace ./workspace
```

Published versions are listed on [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-files-context/). If the version is not available yet, use the GitHub command below. Publishing is managed through [GitHub Actions](https://github.com/jayanth-mkv/agent-mcp-registry/blob/main/docs/publishing.md).

## Run from GitHub without cloning

Requires [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/) and Git. uv downloads the selected package and manages Python 3.13 and its dependencies:

```bash
uvx --python 3.13 --from "git+https://github.com/jayanth-mkv/agent-mcp-registry.git@main#subdirectory=mcp-files" mcp-files --workspace ./workspace
```

Only this MCP and its runtime dependencies are installed. uv fetches the repository internally; you do not need a local checkout. To pin the source, replace `main` with a release tag or full commit SHA.

## Install from source

From this directory, with Python 3.13+ and [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/):

```bash
uv sync --locked --no-dev
uv run --locked --no-dev mcp-files --workspace ./workspace
```

The default transport is stdio. Configure your MCP client using the [repository example](https://github.com/jayanth-mkv/agent-mcp-registry#connect-an-mcp-client).

For Streamable HTTP:

```bash
uv run --locked --no-dev mcp-files --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 --workspace ./workspace
```

Endpoint: `http://127.0.0.1:8000/mcp`. Legacy SSE is available with `--transport sse` at `/sse`.
