FAQ: Filesystem & Storage MCPs
Is the Filesystem MCP safe?
Yes. It reads and writes only inside directories you pass on the command line — traversal outside them is rejected at path normalization.
Can I use it to write files?
Yes. Read and write are bundled; if you need read-only, mount the directory read-only at the OS level.
