Capabilities

readwriteexec

Exposed MCP Tools (16)

safe
read

Reads the content of a file, with options for line numbers, offset, and limit.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

high
write

Creates a new file or overwrites an existing file with provided content.

Can overwrite existing files, potentially leading to data loss.

high
edit

Makes line-based edits to a text file.

Modifies existing files, potentially introducing errors or unintended changes.

high
multi_edit

Makes multiple precise text replacements in a single file operation with atomic transactions.

Complex edits can introduce errors; atomic transactions mitigate but don't eliminate risk.

safe
directory_tree

Retrieves a recursive tree view of directories.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

safe
grep

Searches for patterns within files using ripgrep for performance.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

high
content_replace

Replaces patterns within the content of a file.

Modifies file content, potentially leading to data loss or corruption.

safe
grep_ast

Searches code with AST context, showing matches within functions, classes, etc.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

critical
run_command

Executes shell commands on the server.

Allows arbitrary code execution, posing a significant security risk.

safe
notebook_read

Extracts and reads source code from all cells in a Jupyter notebook, including outputs.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

high
notebook_edit

Edits, inserts, or deletes cells in a Jupyter notebook.

Modifies notebook structure and content, potentially breaking functionality.

safe
think

Provides a structured space for complex reasoning and analysis without making changes.

No file system modifications or external calls.

safe
dispatch_agent

Launches one or more agents that can perform tasks using read-only tools concurrently.

Agents are restricted to read-only tools.

high
batch

Executes multiple tool invocations in parallel or serially in a single request.

Aggregates the risks of the individual tools being batched.

moderate
todo_write

Creates and manages a structured task list.

Creates or modifies a task list file.

safe
todo_read

Reads a structured task list.

Read-only operation, no side effects.

Safety Assessment

This server provides powerful file manipulation capabilities, but its safety depends heavily on proper configuration and user awareness. It is safe when used with strict directory restrictions and careful permission management. It is risky when given broad access or when executing untrusted commands.

  • Permission prompts for file modifications and command execution
  • Restricted access to specified directories
  • Input validation and sanitization
  • Proper error handling and reporting
  • Potential for arbitrary code execution via `run_command`
  • File system write access
  • Reliance on user configuration for security
  • Complexity of managing permissions correctly
