Unrestricted Development MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI with unrestricted access to your development environment.
Features
✅ Fully Implemented
1. Filesystem Tools (10 tools)
fs_read_file- Read file contentsfs_write_file- Write/overwrite files with auto-directory creationfs_append_file- Append to existing filesfs_delete_file- Delete filesfs_list_directory- List directory contents (recursive support)fs_create_directory- Create directoriesfs_delete_directory- Delete directories (recursive support)fs_get_file_info- Get file/directory metadatafs_move_file- Move/rename filesfs_copy_file- Copy files
2. Shell Tools (2 tools)
shell_execute- Execute any shell command with optional sudoshell_execute_streaming- Execute long-running commands with streaming output
🚧 Stubbed (TODO)
- Docker tools (container management)
- MongoDB tools (database operations)
- Git tools (version control)
- Process tools (process management)
- Network tools (HTTP, SSH, etc.)
Quick Setup (Ubuntu)
-
Install dependencies:
cd /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2 npm install -
Build the project:
npm run build -
Add to Claude Code:
Use the Claude Code CLI to add the MCP server:
claude mcp add-json unrestricted-dev '{"command":"node","args":["/home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2/build/index.js"],"cwd":"/"}'Verify it's configured:
claude mcp listYou should see:
unrestricted-dev: node /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2/build/index.js - ✓ Connected -
Start using it! - The MCP tools are now available globally in every Claude Code conversation.
Type
/mcpto see your configured servers, or just start asking Claude to use the tools!
Development
Run manually for testing:
npm start
Watch mode for development:
npm run watch
Working Directory Behavior
Important Notes:
- The MCP server launches from the root directory (
/) for full system access - For file operations:
- Absolute paths (e.g.,
/home/connor-boetig/projects/file.txt) always work - Relative paths (e.g.,
./etc/nginx/nginx.conforhome/connor-boetig/file.txt) are relative to/ - Both absolute and relative paths work seamlessly since we start from root
- Absolute paths (e.g.,
Security Warning
⚠️ This server grants UNRESTRICTED system access including:
- Full filesystem read/write/delete
- Shell command execution with sudo
- All privileges you have
Only use this on:
- Local development machines (NOT production)
- Trusted environments (VM, Docker, dedicated dev box)
- When you understand and accept the risks
Example Usage
Once connected, the AI can:
// Read a file
await use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
tool_name: "fs_read_file",
arguments: { path: "/path/to/file.txt" }
});
// Install a package
await use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
tool_name: "shell_execute",
arguments: {
command: "apt install -y nodejs",
sudo: true
}
});
// List directory
await use_mcp_tool({
server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
tool_name: "fs_list_directory",
arguments: {
path: "/home/user/projects",
recursive: true,
showHidden: false
}
});
