Filesystem

Local file access for MCP clients. Read, write, list, search, move — with a real directory allowlist enforced at the boundary.

Tier 1 sealed by curl

Filesystem is the one I run first on every new client. Read, write, list, move, search — local files exposed cleanly to the agent with the directory whitelist actually enforced at the boundary, not buried in a system prompt. Boring on purpose, and that's why it ships in production. If your agent touches files, this is the floor.
