Provides file and directory tools for LLMs and coding agents to quickly get project context, supporting Gitignore patterns and various project information resources.
About
File Tools is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server designed to enhance the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI coding agents by providing robust access to file system information. It allows agents to understand project structures, read multiple files efficiently, and gather comprehensive project context, including dependency lists, Git status, and configuration files. Built with support for respecting `.gitignore` patterns, it ensures that LLMs focus on relevant code, making them more effective in development and analytical tasks.
Key Features
- Gracefully handles file system errors like circular symlinks and permission issues.
- Generates tree views of directory structures while respecting .gitignore patterns.
- Provides comprehensive project information, including type detection, dependencies, and git status.
- Offers a complete project context by combining directory structure with relevant text file contents.
- Reads multiple files efficiently in a single request with clear content separation.

Use Cases
- Enabling AI coding agents to access specific file contents and project metadata on demand.
- Debugging and testing MCP client interactions with a file system server for development workflows.
- Empowering LLMs to quickly grasp project context and structure for code analysis and generation.
