Install & configure

Prerequisites

required
Install Node.js 18 or newer
Node.js version 18 or later is required to run the MCP server via npx.

Install in your client

Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest

Please install the `mcp-server-filesystem` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).

Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Install Node.js 18 or newer** — Node.js version 18 or later is required to run the MCP server via npx.

Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `npx`
- args: ["@agent-infra/mcp-server-filesystem@latest"]

Note: The README also documents remote operation by starting the server with a port and allowed directories, then connecting via either Streamable HTTP or SSE. Runtime args shown include '--allowed-directories <dir>' for restricting filesystem access and '--port <your-port>' for remote mode. Example remote endpoints are '/mcp' for Streamable HTTP and '/sse' for SSE, but the README's URL examples contain a typo with a double colon after 127.0.0.1. No environment variables are documented.

Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
