DocFS
Exposes read-only file system tools to Model Context Protocol clients, enabling structured interaction with project directories.
About
DocFS serves as a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, offering read-only file system capabilities to MCP clients. Unlike generic file system servers, it prioritizes safety and convenience by limiting operations to viewing directory structures, listing files, searching file contents, and reading files. It enhances control and performance through support for multiple root directories, `.gitignore` rule enforcement for path filtering, and an in-memory LRU cache for efficient metadata access. This design makes it ideal for securely exposing codebases or project files to AI agents without modification risks.
