  • Why This Hybrid Approach is Perfect

🎯 Target Environment

This MCP server is optimized for:

  • Visual Studio 2022+ development workflows
  • Local development environments without complex workspace setups
  • Direct folder access scenarios where you need filesystem operations
  • Development environments that don't use .code-workspace files
  • Individual project directories rather than multi-root workspaces

Features

  • Directory Traversal: List contents of allowed directories
  • File Reading: Read contents of files with allowed extensions
  • File Writing: Write text/binary content to files — opt-in via --allow-write (disabled by default)
  • Directory Validation: Check accessibility of configured directories
  • Hybrid Configuration: Command-line arguments (MCP) + config.json fallback (debugging)
  • Visual Studio 2022+ Debugging: No-argument startup support
  • Cross-Platform Path Support: Automatically handles both Windows (\) and Unix (/) path separators
  • Security: Access restricted to explicitly specified directories and file types
  • Local Development Focus: Perfect for Visual Studio 2022+ and similar environments

Installation

From PyPI (Recommended for Users)

pip install vs-filesystem-mcp-server

From Source (For Development)

  1. Ensure you have Python 3.10+ installed
  2. Clone the repository
  3. Navigate to the project directory
  4. Install dependencies using uv:
uv sync

Quick Start

  1. For MCP usage: Add the corrected configuration to your .mcp.json
  2. For debugging: Just press F5 in Visual Studio 2022+ - uses config.json automatically
  3. Test your configuration by calling the init() tool first
  4. If init() returns errors, check your directory paths and permissions

Configuration Options

Option 1: Config.json File (Simplest - Recommended for Beginners)

The easiest way to get started! Create a config.json file:

For MCP server usage:

  • Place config.json in the same folder as your .mcp.json file (usually C:\Users\YourUsername\)

For debugging from source (Visual Studio 2022+):

  • Place config.json in the same directory as app.py (D:/Projects/filesystem_server/)
