fast-filesystem-mcp
Community
Advanced filesystem operations with large file handling capabilities and Claude-optimized features. Provides fast file reading/writing, sequential reading for large files, directory operations, file search, and streaming writes with backup & recovery.
Share markdown files and text as clean, readable web links via `plsreadme_share_file` and `plsreadme_share_text`; zero setup (`npx -y plsreadme-mcp` or `).
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).
Ephemeral file transfer for AI agents and CI/CD pipelines — upload any file, get a SHA-256-verified, TTL-enforced link. 4 tools: upload, file_info, list_uploads, delete_upload. Zero-config via `npx -y transfa-mcp`.
