Documentation Overview

@rog0x/mcp-file-tools

MCP server providing file and directory analysis tools for AI agents. Gives Claude (and other MCP-compatible AI) the ability to explore, analyze, and search file systems.

Tools

Tool	Description
`dir_tree`	Generate a visual directory tree structure with configurable depth and ignore patterns
`file_stats`	Analyze a directory: total files, size breakdown by extension, largest/newest/oldest files
`duplicate_finder`	Find duplicate files by size + MD5 hash, report wasted space
`code_counter`	Count lines of code by language: code, comments, and blank lines (like cloc/scc)
`file_search`	Search files by name glob, content regex, size range, and date range

Installation

bash

git clone https://github.com/rog0x/mcp-file-tools.git
cd mcp-file-tools
npm install
npm run build

Configuration

Claude Code

Terminal

claude mcp add mcp-file-tools node /absolute/path/to/mcp-file-tools/dist/index.js
