You need to fill in: WORKSPACE_ROOT

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
You fill in yourself: WORKSPACE_ROOT

You need

npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-filesystem"
      ],
      "env": {
        "WORKSPACE_ROOT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add filesystem --env WORKSPACE_ROOT=your-value -- npx -y @ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-filesystem

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@ai-capabilities-suite/mcp-filesystem"
      ],
      "env": {
        "WORKSPACE_ROOT": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "filesystem": {

Common questions

Is MCP Filesystem safe?

It passed 1 of 1 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?

You need to fill in: WORKSPACE_ROOT

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 –, and the latest version (0.1.9) reached the registry 11 months 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 on your computer.

What can I use instead?

🚀 AI Capability Extension Suite

What if AI agents could actually _see_, _debug_, and _control_ your development environment?

We've built the most comprehensive suite of MCP servers that give AI agents superpowers they've never had before. This isn't just another tool collection—it's a paradigm shift that transforms AI assistants from code generators into intelligent development partners with runtime visibility, system control, and physical world access.

📝 Note: All packages have been split into individual Git submodules with their own repositories for better maintainability and independent versioning. Each package now has its own dedicated repository under the Digital-Defiance organization.

🤔 The Problem We're Solving

AI agents today are powerful but blind:

❌ Can't see what code actually does when it runs
❌ Can't capture your screen or record demonstrations
❌ Can't manage files beyond basic read/write
❌ Can't control processes or applications
❌ Can't interact with your actual development environment

Result: You're stuck doing manual work that AI should handle.

🎯 What We've Built: The Complete Solution

The AI Capability Extension Suite provides 5 comprehensive MCP servers that give AI agents professional-grade capabilities, plus Akira:

🐛 1. MCP ACS Debugger

The most comprehensive debugging interface for AI agents - our flagship product

Repositories: Core | Server | VS Code Extension

✨ Now available as a VS Code extension! Install from Marketplace →

The Problem: AI agents were blind to runtime behavior. They could read your code and suggest fixes, but couldn't see what was actually happening when your code ran. Debugging remained a frustratingly manual process.

The Solution: AI agents can now debug like senior developers—setting breakpoints, inspecting variables, profiling performance, and detecting infinite loops in real-time. Available as both a standalone MCP server and a native VS Code extension with GitHub Copilot integration.

🔥 Why This Changes Everything

For Developers:

"Debug this for me" becomes reality—AI investigates and fixes runtime issues
Instant performance insights—AI identifies bottlenecks and memory leaks automatically
Intelligent test debugging—AI debugs failing tests and suggests precise fixes
Proactive hang detection—Never lose time to infinite loops again

For AI Agents:

Runtime visibility—See what's actually happening when code executes
Interactive debugging—Set breakpoints, step through code, inspect state
Performance analysis—Profile CPU, memory, and execution timelines
Intelligent problem solving—Combine static analysis with runtime behavior

🛠️ 25+ Professional Debugging Tools

Core Debugging (17 tools):

🚀 Session management (start, stop with clean shutdown)
🎯 Breakpoint operations (set, remove, toggle, list with conditional logic)
▶️ Execution control (continue, step over/into/out, pause)
🔍 Variable inspection (evaluate expressions, inspect objects, watch variables)
🗺️ Call stack navigation (get stack, switch frames)
⚠️ Hang detection (intelligent infinite loop identification)

Advanced Breakpoints (4 tools):

📝 Logpoints - Non-breaking observation with variable interpolation
🚨 Exception breakpoints - Break on caught/uncaught exceptions with filtering
🎯 Function breakpoints - Break on function entry with regex matching
🔢 Hit count conditions - Break after N hits or every Nth hit

Performance Profiling (4 tools):

🔥 CPU profiling - Real-time performance analysis with flame graphs
🧠 Memory profiling - Heap snapshots and leak detection
📉 Performance metrics - Timeline analysis and regression detection
📊 Resource monitoring - Track CPU, memory, and execution patterns
