filesystem

filesystem is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from tdimino/claude-code-minoan. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, original, MIT.

A local file-access connection that gives an agent read and write access to specifically allowed folders. It uses a standard filesystem server and does not automatically grant access to every directory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when an agent needs to inspect or modify files in approved local folders, after configuring those folder paths.
Why use it?
It provides controlled access to project files while keeping the accessible locations limited to directories configured by the user.

MCP server for Claude CodeCodexCursorGemini CLIOpenCode

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

Not installable: its command points at a path on the author’s own machine, so it runs nowhere else. The line is /Users/yourname/Desktop/Projects.

One of 14 entries in .mcp.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

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: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode.

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 6d 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.

filesystem is an MCP server published in the GitHub repository tdimino/claude-code-minoan (41 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. Its token cost is not measured: an MCP server costs its tool schemas, not its config file. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
