FAQ from Fsext Mcp Server Python

What is the --lock-root option for?

It locks all operations to a dedicated workspace directory, providing production security by preventing access outside that path.

What transports are supported?

Three transports are supported: stdio (default for local use), SSE (remote streaming), and Streamable HTTP (modern remote service).

How do I install and run the server?

You can run it immediately with uvx fsext-mcp-server, or install via pip install fsext-mcp-server and then execute fsext or fsext-mcp-server-py.

Is there a default mode without workspace isolation?

Yes, the default stdio mode gives unrestricted access to the entire filesystem. Use --lock-root to restrict operations.

Can I run the server on a remote machine?

Yes. Use --transport sse or --transport http together with --host and --port to serve over the network.
