ftp_list
List a remote directory. `limit` defaults to 50 (1–200); `offset` defaults to 0.
ftp_read
Read a bounded text file; binary data is refused.
ftp_upload
Upload one file from `localRoot`.
ftp_deploy
Recursively deploy a directory from `localRoot`.
Ready-to-Paste Client Configurations
Paste either (or both) of these JSON server blocks into your client config file (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json).
Ftp Deploy MCP is categorized under File Systems and uses a local stdio subprocess. In contrast, Filesystem Context MCP Server belongs to File Systems using local stdio subprocess. Select Ftp Deploy MCP when you need capabilities focused on file systems and Filesystem Context MCP Server when you require tools for file systems.
Delete a file or, with explicit recursion, a directory.
Filesystem Context MCP Server Tools (13)
list_roots
List allowed workspace roots. Call this first — all other tools scope to these.
list
List directory contents. Returns entries (dirs-first, alphabetical) and an ASCII tree.
find_files
Find files by glob pattern (e.g. `**/*.ts`). Returns matching files with metadata.
stat
Get file/directory metadata: size, modified time, permissions, MIME type, token estimate.
search_text
Search file contents for text (grep-like). Returns matching lines with context.
diff
Compare two files and return a unified diff with added/removed line counts.
read
Read a text file. Supports head/tail and line ranges. Accepts `paths[]` for batches.
create
Create one or more files, creating parent directories as needed. An existing file prompts the user to confirm the overwrite; `overwrite: true` on an entry skips the prompt, `append: true` adds to the end instead.
edit
Apply sequential literal string replacements to one or more files (max 5 per call).
move
Move, rename, or copy (`copy: true`) one or more files/directories to explicit destinations.
delete
Permanently delete one or more files or directories. This action is irreversible.
replace_text
Bulk search-and-replace across files matching a glob pattern.
