What is Rs Filesystem
rs_filesystem is a set of filesystem tools developed in Rust for use with the MCP (Model Context Protocol). It allows users to interact with filesystem resources in a structured manner.
Use cases
Use cases for rs_filesystem include managing file resources, displaying prompts for user interaction, and integrating with other tools in an MCP-enabled environment.
How to use
To use rs_filesystem in Claude Desktop, edit the ‘claude_desktop_config.json’ file to include the rs_filesystem command and specify allowed directories. Ensure the MCP server is enabled by using the ‘–mcp’ option.
Key features
Key features of rs_filesystem include enabling MCP server functionality, displaying resources, prompts, and tools through command-line interface options.
Where to use
rs_filesystem can be used in various applications that require filesystem management within MCP clients, particularly in desktop environments like Claude Desktop.

How to use MCP CLI server in Claude Desktop?
- Edit
claude_desktop_config.json: Claude Desktop ->Settings->Developer->Edit Config - Add the following configuration to the
serverssection:
{
"mcpServers": {
"rs_filesystem": {
"command": "/path/to/rs_filesystem",
"args": [
"--mcp"
],
"env": {
"MCP_RS_FILESYSTEM_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES": "/path/number/one:/path/number/two"
}
}
}
}Make sure you use the actual path to the rs_filesystem binary.
Make sure the MCP_RS_FILESYSTEM_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES env variable is set to a colon-separated list of allowed directories.
The tools will only work inside those directories.
If you want to check MCP log, please use tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/rs_filesystem.logs.jsonl.
