About Rust MCP Filesystem

This project is a pure Rust rewrite of the JavaScript-based @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem, offering enhanced capabilities, improved performance, and a robust feature set tailored for modern filesystem interactions.

Refer to the project documentation for installation and configuration instructions.

Features

  • High Performance: Built in Rust for speed and efficiency, leveraging asynchronous I/O to handle filesystem operations seamlessly.

  • Read-Only by Default: Starts with no write access, ensuring safety until explicitly configured otherwise.

  • Advanced Glob Search: Supports full glob pattern matching allowing precise filtering of files and directories using standard glob syntax.For example, patterns like *.rs, src/**/*.txt, and…

  • MCP Roots support: enabling clients to dynamically modify the list of allowed directories (disabled by default).

  • ZIP Archive Support: Tools to create ZIP archives from files or directories and extract ZIP files with ease.

  • Lightweight: Standalone with no external dependencies (e.g., no Node.js, Python etc required), compiled to a single binary with a minimal resource footprint, ideal for both lightweight and extensive…

  • Tool Disabling: Disable specific tools to limit functionality and reduce the number of available tools, helping to save tokens.
