What it does

A Rust rewrite of the reference Node.js filesystem MCP server, published by the rust-mcp-stack project. It ships as a single binary with no runtime dependencies and starts read-only, so writing has to be switched on explicitly. Besides reading, writing and listing files it offers glob pattern search, creating and extracting ZIP archives, the option to disable individual tools to save tokens, and MCP Roots support for changing the allowed directories, which is off by default. It installs with a shell or PowerShell script, Homebrew, Cargo, npm or Docker; the full tool list and client setup are on the project's documentation site.

Capabilities

  • Read, write and list files within allowed directories
  • Search files and folders with glob patterns
  • Create ZIP archives and extract ZIP files
  • Start read-only and enable writes explicitly
  • Disable individual tools
