Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18 or higher)

Smithery Installation

The easiest way to get started is using Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp --client cursor

Manual Installation

Cursor IDE Setup

1. Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server

2. Configure with these settings:

   {
     "deep-directory-tree": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": [
         "-y",
         "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"
       ]
     }
   }
   

Claude Desktop Setup

Add the following to your MCP configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deep-directory-tree": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Usage

Common commands for AI assistants:

• “Show me the directory structure”
• “Visualize project tree up to depth 4”
• “Show files excluding test directories”
