offeryn · Summary

Rust-based MCP server implementation with tool generation macros and multiple transport options.

filesystem · Summary

A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.

offeryn · Use cases

  • Building custom AI agents with Rust-based tools
  • Creating calculator utilities for LLM assistants
  • Implementing MCP servers with SSE transport for web applications

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

offeryn · Install

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
offeryn = "0.1.0"

Claude Desktop Configuration

Add to your Claude Desktop configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "offeryn-calculator": {
      "command": "path/to/your/calculator-binary",
      "args": []
    }
  }
}

For SSE transport, use an MCP client that supports SSE mode and connect to the specified address.
