io.github.CloudCorpRecords/fileport
Sandboxed file access: read, write, edit and search in allowed dirs.
Install
Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

Documentation
From the project's README on GitHub, refreshed weekly. Links open on GitHub.
fileport
fileport gives an agent careful, sandboxed access to the local
filesystem. It can read and write text, return media as base64, apply
exact-match edits, walk directory trees, and search by glob — but only
inside the directories you allow. Anything outside those roots is
refused, including paths that escape through .. segments or symlinks.
Install
npx @reneturcios/fileport list .
Or run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/fileport
The container defaults to the MCP server. Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.
Allowed directories
The sandbox is the whole point of this tool, so it is configured explicitly:
fileport mcp /data/docs /data/notes— the arguments aftermcpare the allowed roots.FILEPORT_ROOTS— a path-delimiter-separated list used when no arguments are given.- With neither set, the current working directory is the only root.
Every path a tool receives is canonicalised (symlinks resolved; new files resolved through their parent) and checked against the roots before any read or write happens.
CLI
fileport list <path> # entries as [FILE] / [DIR] lines
fileport read <path> # print a file's text contents
fileport mcp [dirs...] # start the stdio MCP server
fileport --version
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when an operation fails (for example a
path outside the allowed directories), 2 for usage errors. The
list and read helpers resolve paths against the working directory.
MCP server
npx -y @reneturcios/fileport mcp /path/to/allowed/dir
MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"fileport": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/fileport", "mcp", "/path/to/allowed/dir"]
}
}
}
Tools
| Tool | Input | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
read_file | path | The file's full text contents. |
read_text_file | path, optional head or tail (line counts, mutually exclusive) | The file text, or just its first/last lines. |
read_media_file | path | Base64 image, audio, or blob content chosen by extension. |
read_multiple_files | paths | Each file's contents; a failure for one file is reported in-band and does not stop the others. |
write_file | path, content | Writes the text, creating parent folders as needed. |
edit_file | path, edits (oldText/newText pairs), optional dryRun | Applies each exact-match replacement, or returns a diff-like preview when dryRun is set. Errors if an oldText is not found. |
create_directory | path | Creates the directory and any missing parents. |
list_directory | path | Entries as [FILE] name / [DIR] name lines. |
list_directory_with_sizes | path, optional sortBy (name or size) | Entries with sizes; directories report their recursive total. |
directory_tree | path, optional excludePatterns | A nested JSON tree of {name, type, children?} nodes. |
move_file | source, destination | Moves or renames within the sandbox. |
search_files | path, pattern, optional excludePatterns | Recursive glob search over file names (**, *, ?). |
get_file_info | path | Size, created/modified/accessed times, type, and permissions. |
list_allowed_directories | — | The roots currently in force. |
Development
npm install
npm run build # tsc -> dist/
npm test # node test runner over test/*.test.ts, no network
npm run dev # run the CLI from source via tsx
