sions`: View active command sessions - `list_processes`: View system processes - `kill_process`: Terminate processes by PID - `block_command`/`unblock_command`: Manage command blacklist ### Filesystem Tools - `read_file`/`write_file`: File operations - `create_directory`/`list_directory`: Directory management - `move_file`: Move/rename files - `search_files`: Pattern-based file search - `get_file_info`: File metadata ### Edit Tools - `edit_block`: Apply surgical text replacements (best for changes <20% of file size) - `write_file`: Complete file rewrites (best for large changes >20% or when edit_block fails) Search/Replace Block Format: ``` filepath.ext <<<<<<< SEARCH existing code to replace ======= new code to insert >>>>>>> REPLACE ``` Example: ``` src/main.js <<<<<<< SEARCH console.log("old message"); ======= console.log("new message"); >>>>>>> REPLACE ``` ## Handling Long-Running Commands For commands that may take a while: 1. `execute_command` returns after timeout with initial output 2. Command continues in background 3. Use `read_output` with PID to get new output 4. Use `force_terminate` to stop if needed ## Model Context Protocol Integration This project extends the MCP Filesystem Server to enable: - Local server support in Claude Desktop - Full system command execution - Process management - File operations - Code editing with search/replace blocks Created as part of exploring Claude MCPs: https://youtube.com/live/TlbjFDbl5Us ## Contributing If you find this project useful, please consider giving it a ⭐ star on GitHub!
