### Description (declared)

# MCP File System Server

A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) server providing file system operations. This server offers a clean API for performing file system operations within a specified project directory, following the MCP protocol design.

## Overview

This MCP server enables AI assistants like Claude (via Claude Desktop) or other MCP-compatible systems to interact with your local file system. With these capabilities, AI assistants can:

- Read your existing code and project files
- Write new files with generated content
- Update and modify existing files with precision using exact string matching
- Make selective edits to code without rewriting entire files
- Delete files when needed
- Review repositories to provide analysis and recommendations
- Debug and fix issues in your codebase
- Generate complete implementations based on your specifications

All operations are securely contained within your specified project directory, giving you control while enabling powerful AI collaboration on your local files.

By connecting your AI assistant to your filesystem, you can transform your workflow from manual coding to a more intuitive prompting approach - describe what you need in natural language and let the AI generate, modify, and organize code directly in your project files.

## Path Confinement

Every path is validated against the project directory before any file operation. Validation resolves symlinks and rejects the path if the resolved location lies outside the project directory. A `..` segment is rejected outright rather than followed. Reference projects are validated the same way against their own directory.

Two kinds of path are rejected that earlier versions accepted:

- **A `..` segment anywhere in the path**, not only a leading one. `read_file("src/../README.md")` is rejected; use `read_file("README.md")`.
- **A path that leaves the project through a symlink.** A symlinked file inside the project whose target is outside it, or an intermediate symli…
