filesystem

filesystem is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from NickoScope/nickol-knx-mcp. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local MCP server that lets an agent read and write files in specifically allowed directories. It runs from the Model Context Protocol filesystem package and is configured with the directory it may access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to inspect or modify files in an approved repository or directory. Its configuration must include an absolute allowed path.
Why use it?
It provides controlled filesystem access without giving the server unrestricted access to the whole computer.

Written for no agent in particular: it speaks MCP, so any client can run it. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

One of 4 entries in claude_desktop_config.json upstream. Installing this one merges just its entry into your config; the other 3 are separate, each on its own page.

Good fit Use it when an agent needs to inspect or modify files in an approved repository or directory. Its configuration must include an absolute allowed path.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2mo 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.

This page is one entry in a file that holds 4. Installing the file brings all of them; each is measured and scanned on its own page.

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.
