What it does
A reference server that lets an assistant read and edit files in directories you allow. It's the simplest way to give a model controlled access to a project on disk.
Like any MCP server, Filesystem plugs into MCP-compatible assistants (such as Claude and other clients) so the model can use it as a tool — no custom integration code required.
