filesystem

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

A configuration for a local MCP server that gives an AI agent access to selected filesystem directories. MCP is a standard way for an AI agent to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to let an agent read and write files within a specified project directory. Set the PROJECT_ROOT environment variable to define the allowed location.
Why use it?
It lets the agent work with project files while limiting access to the directory supplied as the project root. The server runs locally with the user’s filesystem permissions.

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 5d 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 6. 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.
