What it does

Ellmos File Commander MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables AI assistants and applications to interact with local filesystems. It provides comprehensive file management capabilities including reading, writing, searching, and organizing files, along with process control and interactive session management. The tool implements safe deletion practices using the Recycle Bin and supports asynchronous search operations for efficient file discovery.

How to set up

Install the MCP server from the GitHub repository (ellmosai/ellmosfilecommandermcp). Configure it as an MCP server in your compatible AI platform (Claude, ChatGPT, or other MCP-compatible tools). The server runs locally and connects to your filesystem, requiring appropriate permissions for file and process operations. Refer to the GitHub documentation for detailed setup instructions specific to your platform.
