About MCP File Tools

MCP File Tools is an MCP server published by the GitHub account zoster81. Secure encoding-aware filesystem tools with atomic writes, legacy encodings, and typed errors

It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package mcp-file-tools_windows_amd64.exe, with no version pinned.

It asks for no keys or passwords.

Version 2.0.0 was published on 2 August 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.

Written from the registry entry. 7 automated checks on registry metadata: 3 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 3 info. How we check.

What it asks for

This server declares no environment variables, so it asks for no keys or settings.
