Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

MCP server for remote filesystem operations on cloud storage (Google Cloud Storage).

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: GCS_BUCKET, GCS_PRIVATE_KEY

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: GCS_BUCKET, GCS_PROJECT_ID, GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL, GCS_PRIVATE_KEY, GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, GCS_ROOT_PATH, GCS_MAKE_PUBLIC, ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

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": {
    "remote-filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "remote-filesystem-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GCS_BUCKET": "your-value",
        "GCS_PROJECT_ID": "your-value",
        "GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL": "your-value",
        "GCS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "your-value",
        "GCS_ROOT_PATH": "your-value",
        "GCS_MAKE_PUBLIC": "your-value",
        "ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add remote-filesystem --env GCS_BUCKET=your-value --env GCS_PROJECT_ID=your-value --env GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL=your-value --env GCS_PRIVATE_KEY=your-value --env GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=your-value --env GCS_ROOT_PATH=your-value --env GCS_MAKE_PUBLIC=your-value --env ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS=your-value -- npx -y remote-filesystem-mcp-server

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": {
    "remote-filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "remote-filesystem-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GCS_BUCKET": "your-value",
        "GCS_PROJECT_ID": "your-value",
        "GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL": "your-value",
        "GCS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "your-value",
        "GCS_ROOT_PATH": "your-value",
        "GCS_MAKE_PUBLIC": "your-value",
        "ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS": "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": {
    "remote-filesystem": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "remote-filesystem-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GCS_BUCKET": "your-value",
        "GCS_PROJECT_ID": "your-value",
        "GCS_CLIENT_EMAIL": "your-value",
        "GCS_PRIVATE_KEY": "your-value",
        "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "your-value",
        "GCS_ROOT_PATH": "your-value",
        "GCS_MAKE_PUBLIC": "your-value",
        "ENABLED_TOOLGROUPS": "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.

Common questions

Is Remote 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: GCS_BUCKET, GCS_PRIVATE_KEY

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 (0.1.5) reached the registry 4 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?
