filesystem

filesystem is an MCP server for Cursor from Byron2306/EdgeK-BEAST. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that gives the coding agent read and write access to approved folders on the local computer. Access is limited to the directories configured for it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read, create, and modify files in permitted local directories.
Why use it?
It lets the agent work with project files directly instead of requiring every file to be pasted into the conversation, while keeping access scoped to allowed locations.

MCP server for Cursor

Written for Cursor: installed under .cursor/. Also seen: listed in .cursor/mcp.json.

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /home/byron/EdgeK-BEAST.

One of 10 entries in mcp.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 9 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it to read, create, and modify files in permitted local directories.

Getting it into your agent

There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

Made for: Cursor.

Security

Grade A, and why

filesystem scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
