file_reader_mcp

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for reading and discovering files from the local filesystem.

Current capabilities

This project now provides three MCP tools:

list_files — Lists files and folders in a given directory
- Folders are shown with a trailing /
- Results are sorted alphabetically
- Access is restricted to paths under the allowed workspace
read_file — Reads the contents of a text file
- Returns the full file content as a string
- Supports files inside the allowed workspace only
search_files — Searches for files by keyword within a directory tree
- Returns matching file paths
- Helps quickly locate relevant files

Implementation notes

The file access layer has been updated to use pathlib instead of os for a more modern and readable path handling approach.
Access is still restricted to a safe allowed root for security.

Requirements

Python 3.10+
uv (recommended) or pip

Setup

uv sync

Running the server

uv run python src/server.py

The server uses stdio transport and is meant to be configured as an MCP server in Cursor or another MCP-compatible client.
