Content
Claude Desktop MCP Server
A filesystem Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for Claude Desktop. This server provides filesystem capabilities to Claude, allowing it to read, write, and manipulate files on your system.
Features
- List files with glob pattern matching
- Read file contents
- Write to files
- Edit files with diff output
- Delete files
- Secure path normalization to prevent directory traversal attacks
Prerequisites
- Bun v1.2.5 or later
Installation
Clone the repository and install dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/claude-desktop-mcp.git
cd claude-desktop-mcp
bun install
Usage
Run the MCP server:
bun run index.ts [base-directory]
If no base directory is provided, the current working directory will be used.
Available Tools
The server exposes the following tools:
list_files: Lists files matching a glob patternread_file: Reads the content of a filewrite_file: Writes content to a fileedit_file: Edits an existing file with the provided content and shows diffdelete_file: Deletes a file
Security
The server implements path normalization and validation to ensure that operations are restricted to the specified base directory, preventing directory traversal attacks.
