BetterMCPFileServer is a redesigned MCP server aimed at efficient filesystem access with enhanced privacy measures. It uses a path aliasing system to protect user data and offers a more intuitive, less complex interface optimized for language learning models (LLMs).
BetterMCPFileServer
A reimagined Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for filesystem access with privacy-preserving path aliases and an optimized LLM-friendly API.
Key Innovations
- Path Aliasing System - Protects privacy by hiding full system paths
- LLM-Optimized Interface - Reduced from 11 to 6 functions while maintaining full capability
- Smarter Search - Unified tool for directory listings and complex file searches
- Privacy-First Design - No more exposing usernames or system paths to AI models
Quick Start
Clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the server with aliases.
Path Aliasing System
Enhances privacy by using aliases instead of full paths, protecting sensitive information.
API Design Rationale
Features intuitive function naming, grouped functionality, and concise descriptions for improved LLM interaction.
API Reference
The server exposes six key functions for interacting with the filesystem, focusing on streamlined and privacy-conscious operations.
Installation
Clone from the source, install dependencies, and optionally link the command globally.
