Secure filesystem MCP server for reading, writing, searching, diffing, and patching files.
Runs locally over stdio
This server isn't hosted — your MCP client launches it from a package registry. Use one of the commands below, or drop the config into your client (e.g. Claude Desktop).
Run
npx -y @j0hanz/filesystem-mcp

{
"mcpServers": {
"filesystem-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [

}
}
