Filesystem
Use the local filesystem connected through Edge Tunnel to read, create, edit, and move files and directories.
Key Features
- Read files and read multiple files at once
- Create, overwrite, and line-edit files
- Create directories and browse directory lists or trees
- Move files and directories
- Search files and inspect metadata
Basic Information
Authentication Method
No separate authentication is required.
Supported Scope
This integration only works inside allowed directories accessible through Edge Tunnel.
Supported MCP Tools
File Reading Tools
read_file
Reads the full content of a text file or selected head/tail lines. Use download_file for binary files (PDF, DOCX, and XLSX).
download_file
Downloads PDF, DOCX, and XLSX files for reading, summarization, and analysis.
You can make requests such as “Read this PDF and summarize the key points.” Files up to 50 MiB are supported.
read_multiple_files
Reads multiple files in a single request.
get_file_info
Retrieves metadata for a file or directory, such as size, creation and modification times, and permissions.
File Modification Tools
write_file
Creates a new file from inline text or completely overwrites an existing text file.
upload_file
When you request a task in chat, a binary file on a connected local PC or mounted file server can be read, used to create a new file, and saved to the path you specify.
- Supports saving XLSX, PDF, and DOCX binary files.
- Existing files cannot be edited or overwritten. The result is always saved as a new file.
- The maximum file size is 50 MiB.
edit_file
Finds exact matching text, applies line-based edits, and returns a diff.
move_file
Moves or renames a file or directory.
Directory Tools
create_directory
Creates a new directory. Nested directories can be created in one operation.
list_directory
Lists files and directories under the specified path.
list_directory_with_sizes
Lists files and directories under the specified path with size information.
directory_tree
Retrieves the directory tree under the specified path as a JSON structure.
search_files
Searches for files or directories whose names match a pattern under the specified path.
Usage Examples
- If you ask, “Find the README file in the project folder and summarize it,” the search_files and read_file tools find the file and read its contents.
- The download_file and upload_file tools can read an XLSX application form on your local PC, create a new form filled with the information you provide, and save it to the local path you specify.
Notes
- Paths outside allowed directories cannot be accessed.
write_file,edit_file, andmove_filecan modify file contents or paths, so review the request before using them.- Operations may be restricted by the Edge Tunnel connection state and local filesystem permissions.
