Dissimilis/DirForge

What it does

Dissimilis/DirForge is a readonly directory listing web application with an integrated Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. It provides AI assistants and tools with structured access to file systems through a controlled interface. The tool enables browsing directory hierarchies, reading file contents, searching across files, inspecting archive contents, calculating file hashes, and analyzing disk usage patterns—all within a configured root directory boundary.

How to set up

Installation involves cloning the repository from GitHub and configuring the root directory that the server will provide access to. The tool runs as an MCP server and integrates with compatible AI platforms including Claude, ChatGPT, and AI Studio. Setup requires specifying the directory root and launching the server, after which it becomes available as a tool within supported AI applications.
