Common questions
Is Fileport safe?
It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
What keys or codes does it need?
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).
Is it still maintained?
The GitHub repo last changed 15 days ago, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 15 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: Ruflo, Context7, Metabase

fileport
fileport gives an agent careful, sandboxed access to the local filesystem. It can read and write text, return media as base64, apply exact-match edits, walk directory trees, and search by glob — but only inside the directories you allow. Anything outside those roots is refused, including paths that escape through .. segments or symlinks.
Install
npx @reneturcios/fileport list .
Or run the container image:
docker run -i ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/fileport
The container defaults to the MCP server. Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.
Allowed directories
The sandbox is the whole point of this tool, so it is configured explicitly:
fileport mcp /data/docs /data/notes— the arguments aftermcpare the allowed roots.FILEPORT_ROOTS— a path-delimiter-separated list used when no arguments are given.- With neither set, the current working directory is the only root.
Every path a tool receives is canonicalised (symlinks resolved; new files resolved through their parent) and checked against the roots before any read or write happens.
CLI
fileport list <path> # entries as [FILE] / [DIR] lines
fileport read # print a file's text contents fileport mcp [dirs...] # start the stdio MCP server fileport --version
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when an operation fails (for example a path outside the allowed directories), 2 for usage errors. The list and read helpers resolve paths against the working directory.
MCP server
npx -y @reneturcios/fileport mcp /path/to/allowed/dir
MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": { "fileport": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/fileport", "mcp", "/path/to/allowed/dir"] } } }
Tools
| Tool | Input | What it returns |
|---|---|---|
read_file | path | The file's full text contents. |
read_text_file | path, optional head or tail (line counts, mutually exclusive) | The file text, or just its first/last lines. |
read_media_file | path | Base64 image, audio, or blob content chosen by extension. |
read_multiple_files | paths | Each file's contents; a failure for one file is reported in-band and does not stop the others. |
write_file | path, content | Writes the text, creating parent folders as needed. |
edit_file | path, edits (oldText/newText pairs), optional dryRun | Applies each exact-match replacement, or returns a diff-like preview when dryRun is set. Errors if an oldText is not found. |
create_directory | path | Creates the directory and any missing parents. |
list_directory | path | Entries as [FILE] name / [DIR] name lines. |
list_directory_with_sizes | path, optional sortBy (name or size) | Entries with sizes; directories report their recursive total. |
directory_tree | path, optional excludePatterns | A nested JSON tree of {name, type, children?} nodes. |
move_file | source, destination | Moves or renames within the sandbox. |
search_files | path, pattern, optional excludePatterns | Recursive glob search over file names (**, *, ?). |
get_file_info | path | Size, created/modified/accessed times, type, and permissions. |
list_allowed_directories | — | The roots currently in force. |
