File Systems MCP Servers

AI-native directory visualization with semantic analysis, ultra-compressed formats for AI consumption, and 10x token reduction. Supports quantum-semantic mode with intelligent file categorization.

Free file conversion between 690+ formats. Tools: convert_file (URL or base64 in → signed download URL out) and list_conversions. Covers image, video, audio, document, data, font, ebook, and archive formats. No auth or signup required; remote streamable-HTTP endpoint available (see README).

The Box MCP server allows third party AI agents to securely and seamlessly access Box content and use tools such as search, asking questions from files and folders, and data extraction.

Rust-powered PDF toolkit: create, read, and analyze PDFs; extract text and entities for RAG; convert to Markdown; split, merge, rotate, and reorder pages; add content, annotations, and form fields; and encrypt documents. Ships in the oxidize-pdf PyPI package — run locally with uvx oxidize-mcp.

Schema-first PDF→JSON MCP for AI agents (0xPdf API). Define a JSON schema, parse invoices/forms (OCR optional), manage schemas, and poll async jobs. uvx oxpdf-mcp · docs · playground

Reduce context usage on file use. Send only unified diffs instead of full files (up to 20-100× fewer tokens), and read large files with targeted grep/sed instead of full reads (up to 500×). Kernel-enforced path confinement hard-locks the agent to a configured root: no accidental reads or writes outside scope. Standalone for your file access or embed in any MCP server (Rust, Node.js, Python via WASM).

Coherence guard for shared files: when two agents write the same file, the stale writer is denied instead of silently overwriting, then reacquires and retries. Single-host, TLA+-verified. Install: uvx --from "agent-coherence[mcp]" stale-write-guard-fs.

Convert PDF ⇄ Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPG, HTML, Markdown, EPUB and PDF/A, plus merge, split, compress, watermark, sign, and protect PDFs, and convert images (HEIC, WebP) — 35+ tools from convertica.net. Zero-config via npx convertica-mcp.

Share code context with LLMs via MCP or clipboard

Hash-anchored file edits for MCP clients. Reads files with line anchors, validates anchors against current content, and rejects stale writes before changing files.

Filesystem server for legacy, non-UTF-8 files. Auto-detects and converts 24 encodings (CP1251, CP1252, ISO-8859-x, KOI8-R/U, GBK/GB18030), keeps each file's original encoding on write, and manages BOM and line endings. Encoding-aware grep, partial reads with offset/limit for large files, and allowed-directory confinement. Single Go binary, no runtime dependencies.

Read-only directory listing web app with a built-in MCP server: directory browsing, file reading, content search, archive inspection, file hashes, and disk usage tools over a configured root.
