# Filesystem MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides filesystem operations for Claude AI.

## Features

This MCP server provides the following filesystem operations:

1. **read_file**: Read complete contents of a file
   - Input: `path` (string)
   - Reads complete file contents with UTF-8 encoding

2. **read_multiple_files**: Read multiple files simultaneously
   - Input: `paths` (string[])
   - Failed reads won't stop the entire operation

3. **write_file**: Create new file or overwrite existing 
   - Inputs:
     - `path` (string): File location
     - `content` (string): File content

4. **create_directory**: Create new directory or ensure it exists
   - Input: `path` (string)
   - Creates parent directories if needed
   - Succeeds silently if directory exists

5. **list_directory**: List directory contents with [FILE] or [DIR] prefixes
   - Input: `path` (string)

6. **move_file**: Move or rename files and directories
   - Inputs:
     - `source` (string)
     - `destination` (string)
   - Fails if destination exists

7. **search_files**: Recursively search for files/directories
   - Inputs:
     - `path` (string): Starting directory
     - `pattern` (string): Search pattern
   - Case-insensitive matching
   - Returns full paths to matches

8. **get_file_info**: Get detailed file/directory metadata
   - Input: `path` (string)
   - Returns:
     - Size
     - Creation time
     - Modified time
     - Access time
     - Type (file/directory)
     - Permissions

9. **list_allowed_directories**: List all directories the server is allowed to access
   - No input required
   - Returns directories that this server can read/write from

## Security

The server only allows operations within directories specified via command-line arguments.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem-server": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/path/to/filesystem-server/build/index.js",
        "/path/to/allowed/dir1",
        "/path/to/allowed/dir2"
