Repository: https://github.com/codemaestroai/filesystem-mcp

Follow the installation instructions in the repository README, then restart your MCP client.

A server for performing filesystem operations such as reading/writing files, managing directories, and searching.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides secure filesystem access to AI assistants in Code Maestro Desktop.

This MCP server allows AI assistants to:

- Read and write files
- Create and navigate directories
- Search for files
- Edit existing files with precision
- And more filesystem operations

All operations are restricted to the directories you explicitly allow.

We forked the original@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystemto make it more efficient for AI assistants. The original package could return extremely large outputs that waste tokens and overwhelm language models.

- Smart file reading limits- Prevents reading gigantic files in full
- Directory listing caps- Returns manageable results even in folders with thousands of files
- Depth-limited tree traversal- Avoids getting lost in deep folder structures
- Optimized search results- Returns relevant matches without flooding the output
- Skip large folders- Automatically bypassesnode_modules,.git, and similar directories

These changes ensure your AI assistant gets the information it needs without drowning in unnecessary data.

2. Click "Add" and paste the following JSON:

{ "mcpServers": { "Code Maestro - Filesystem MCP": { "transport": "stdio", "enabled": true, "command": "npx", "args": [ "github:codemaestroai/filesystem-mcp", "<YOUR_PROJECT_PATH>" ], "env": {}, "url": null, "headers": null } } }

3. Replace<YOUR_PROJECT_PATH>with the actual path to your project directory

- Windows:"C:\\Users\\YourName\\Projects\\my-project"
- macOS/Linux:"/home/username/projects/my-project"

"args": [ "github:codemaestroai/filesystem-mcp", "/path/to/project1", "/path/to/project2" ]

- The MCP server can ONLY access directories you explicitly specify
- All file operations are logged
- Attempts to access files outside allowed directories will be rejected

Note: This is a temporary solution. We're working on native file operation support in CM Desktop.
