Verzeichnis-Server-MCP

Overview

Verzeichnis-Server-MCP is a robust C# backend that implements the Model Context Protocol to enable AI agents to interact securely with local file systems. The server provides well-defined tools for file and directory operations including listing, reading, writing, copying, moving, and deleting files and directories. It supports both text and media file handling, returning base64 data with appropriate MIME types for media files. The implementation appears to be particularly suited for integration with workflow automation platforms like N8N, as demonstrated in the documentation.
