A filesystem allowing for browsing and editing files implemented in Java using Quarkus. Available as jar or native image.

MCP server for SSH-based control of remote Linux, macOS, and Windows servers with 46 purpose-built tools instead of one generic command-runner: line-level file editing (no download/edit/upload round-trip), background task launch/monitor/kill, real sudo support, host aliases, recursive directory ops, archive create/extract, and full Unicode via SFTP (avoids PowerShell OEM code page corruption on Windows targets). pip install cygnus-ssh-mcp or uvx cygnus-ssh-mcp.

Golang implementation for local file system access.

MCP tool access to MarkItDown -- a library that converts many file formats (local or remote) to Markdown for LLM consumption.

Deploy files from AI agents to your own FTP/FTPS/SFTP servers — multi-server config, recursive deploy with dry-run and gitignore-like excludes, per-server path jail and read-only mode, FileZilla import, one-command setup for popular MCP clients.

Convert PDF ⇄ Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, HTML, Markdown, EPUB and PDF/A, plus merge, split, compress, watermark, sign, and protect PDFs, and convert images (HEIC, WebP) — 35+ tools from convertica.net. Zero-config via npx convertica-mcp.

21-tool Android device control via ADB — screenshots with compression, UI tree inspection, touch automation, logcat, and compound actions like tap-and-wait. One-command install via npx android-mcp-server.

Secure file operations with configurable access controls.

Rust-powered PDF toolkit: create, read, and analyze PDFs; extract text and entities for RAG; convert to Markdown; split, merge, rotate, and reorder pages; add content, annotations, and form fields; and encrypt documents. Ships in the oxidize-pdf PyPI package — run locally with uvx oxidize-mcp.

Reduce context usage on file use. Send only unified diffs instead of full files (up to 20-100× fewer tokens), and read large files with targeted grep/sed instead of full reads (up to 500×). Kernel-enforced path confinement hard-locks the agent to a configured root: no accidental reads or writes outside scope. Standalone for your file access or embed in any MCP server (Rust, Node.js, Python via WASM).

Coherence guard for shared files: when two agents write the same file, the stale writer is denied instead of silently overwriting, then reacquires and retries. Single-host, TLA+-verified. Install: uvx --from "agent-coherence[mcp]" stale-write-guard-fs.

Hash-anchored file edits for MCP clients. Reads files with line anchors, validates anchors against current content, and rejects stale writes before changing files.

⃣ 🏠 🍎 🪟 🐧 - Read-only directory listing web app with a built-in MCP server: directory browsing, file reading, content search, archive inspection, file hashes, and disk usage tools over a configured root.

Share markdown files and text as clean, readable web links via plsreadmesharefile and plsreadmesharetext; zero setup (npx -y plsreadme-mcp or https://plsreadme.com/mcp).
