Filesystem

Gives Claude Code secure access to the files and folders you allow.

Installation
npx claude-code-templates@latest --mcp filesystem/filesystem-access --yes

This MCP gives Claude Code controlled access to the filesystem. You define which directories it can read and write.

Because the permissions are configurable, access stays limited to what you allow.

You can read files, create and edit content, and organize folders within the boundaries you set. It’s useful when the assistant needs to touch files outside the current project but you want to stay in control.

When to use

  • When Claude Code needs to read or edit files in a specific folder.
  • To organize and manipulate local files safely.
  • While working with documents outside the project repository.

How to use

After installing, define the allowed directories and the MCP becomes available. Ask Claude Code to “list the files in this folder” or “create a notes file here”.
