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 contents
  • fs_write_file - Write/overwrite files with auto-directory creation
  • fs_append_file - Append to existing files
  • fs_delete_file - Delete files
  • fs_list_directory - List directory contents (recursive support)
  • fs_create_directory - Create directories
  • fs_delete_directory - Delete directories (recursive support)
  • fs_get_file_info - Get file/directory metadata
  • fs_move_file - Move/rename files
  • fs_copy_file - Copy files

2. Shell Tools (2 tools)

  • shell_execute - Execute any shell command with optional sudo
  • shell_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)

  1. Install dependencies:

    cd /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2
    npm install
    
  2. Build the project:

    npm run build
    
  3. 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 list
    

    You should see: unrestricted-dev: node /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2/build/index.js - ✓ Connected

  4. Start using it! - The MCP tools are now available globally in every Claude Code conversation.

    Type /mcp to 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.conf or home/connor-boetig/file.txt) are relative to /
    • Both absolute and relative paths work seamlessly since we start from root

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
  }
});
