filesystem

Gives your AI assistant direct access to your local file system. Read files, write files, create directories, move things around. The model becomes a hands-on collaborator instead of just a talker.

You get full CRUD on files and directories, with configurable root paths to keep the model sandboxed where you want it. Setup takes one config entry. No API keys needed. Completely free with no underlying costs.

Maintained by the official Model Context Protocol team. This is foundational infrastructure. If you want your AI to actually do work on your machine, not just talk about it, this is non-negotiable.
