Rust MCP Filesystem

Rust MCP Filesystem is a blazingly fast, asynchronous, and lightweight MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed for efficient handling of various filesystem operations. This project is a pure Rust rewrite of the JavaScript-based @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem, offering enhanced capabilities, improved performance, and a robust feature set tailored for modern filesystem interactions.

📝 Refer to the project documentation for installation and configuration instructions.

⭐️ It is also available on Docker Hub’s MCP Registry at: https://hub.docker.com/mcp/server/rust-mcp-filesystem

Features

• ⚡ High Performance: Built in Rust for speed and efficiency, leveraging asynchronous I/O to handle filesystem operations seamlessly.
• 🔒 Read-Only by Default: Starts with no write access, ensuring safety until explicitly configured otherwise.
• 🔍 Advanced Glob Search: Supports full glob pattern matching allowing precise filtering of files and directories using standard glob syntax.For example, patterns like *.rs, src/**/*.txt, and logs/error-???.log are valid and can be used to match specific file types, recursive directory searches, or patterned filenames.
• 🔄 MCP Roots support: enabling clients to dynamically modify the list of allowed directories (disabled by default).
• 📦 ZIP Archive Support: Tools to create ZIP archives from files or directories and extract ZIP files with ease.
