filesystem · Summary
A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.
trueline-mcp · Summary
An MCP plugin that provides hash-verified file editing and targeted reads for AI coding agents to reduce token usage and prevent silent corruption.
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
trueline-mcp · Use cases
- Reducing token usage when working with large source code files by reading only necessary line ranges
- Preventing silent corruption of code when AI agents edit files that have changed concurrently
- Improving efficiency in multi-file editing sessions by batching edits and reducing context window overhead

Installation
**Claude Code (recommended; hooks are automatic):**
/plugin marketplace add rjkaes/trueline-mcp
/plugin install trueline-mcp@trueline-mcp**Other platforms (Gemini CLI, VS Code Copilot, OpenCode, Codex CLI):** See [INSTALL.md](https://github.com/rjkaes/trueline-mcp/blob/main/INSTALL.md) for platform-specific setup.
**CLI (no MCP):** For agents that use shell commands instead of MCP, install globally with npm i -g trueline-mcp and add configs/cli/instructions.md to your agent's system prompt.
