cyanheads/filesystem-mcp-server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for platform-agnostic file capabilities, including advanced search/replace and directory tree traversal
Supports dual STDIO and HTTP transports with JWT authentication, enabling both direct process communication and network-based AI agent interactions. Built with TypeScript and Zod validation, it implements a layered architecture separating transport, API, core services, and tool implementation layers for modularity and maintainability. Includes session-aware path management, comprehensive filesystem operations with regex-based search-and-replace, and security features like path sanitization and configurable base directory restrictions for sandboxed file access.
