A side-by-side look at the Agent Godmode and Fs MCP Rs MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Agent Godmode for file systems work as a local process; choose Fs MCP Rs for file systems as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
AGENT_GODMODE_ROOT.read_file, write_file, edit_file.list_directory, read_file, write_file.Rows where the two servers differ are marked.

read_fileRead a UTF-8 text file; optional line range and byte cap.write_fileCreate or overwrite/append UTF-8 text; creates parent directories.edit_fileSearch-and-replace in an existing UTF-8 file: non-empty `old_string`, optional `replace_all`. With `replace_all=false`, `old_string` must match **exactly once** (use surrounding context from `read_file` for uniqueness). Invalid UTF-8 returns an error instead of corrupting binary data.list_filesList directory entries with optional recursion, glob, depth cap, dotfile control.run_commandRun a subprocess from an **`argv` list only** (no shell); optional `cwd` under the root.list_directorylist direct children of a directory.read_fileread a UTF-8 byte range with explicit offset and length.write_fileatomically create or replace a UTF-8 file. Set `createParents: true` for a new nested path; the server safely creates missing parent directories after validating the allowed root. The default is `false`.search_filesfind paths whose file name contains a string.search_contentcase-insensitive literal or regex search in text files.get_capabilitiesreport sanitized effective limits, roots, protocol versions, and advertised tools.list_treereturn a bounded, deterministic, paginated flat directory tree.apply_patchatomically apply a validated single-file unified text diff; `dryRun` never mutates.file_inforeturn rich metadata and an optional bounded-streaming BLAKE3 digest.create_directorycreate one directory; parents must already exist.removeremove one file or an empty directory.hash_filecalculate a BLAKE3 file hash.Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
