MCP Explorer

delete_file

Delete a file or directory. Use with extreme caution as this operation cannot be undone. When deleting directories, all contents will be permanently removed. The recursive option must be explicitly set to true to delete non-empty directories. Only works within allowed directories.

rename_file

Rename or move a file or directory. Can move files between directories and rename them in a single operation. If the destination exists, the operation will fail. Works across different directories and can be used for simple renaming within the same directory. Both source and destination must be within allowed directories.

search_files

Advanced file and code search tool with comprehensive filtering and matching capabilities. Searches for patterns in files within allowed directories with support for regex patterns, file type filtering, size constraints, date filtering, and content preprocessing. When called without arguments, searches for common patterns in the current directory. Supports excluding comments and string literals for cleaner code searches. Results can be formatted as text, JSON, or structured output with configurable sorting and grouping options.

check_outdated

Check for outdated npm packages in package.json using 'npm outdated'. Analyzes the current project's dependencies and shows which packages have newer versions available. Requires npm to be installed and accessible from the command line.

explore_project

Lists all files in a directory with their sizes and imports/exports. Analyzes JavaScript/TypeScript files for import/export statements and provides detailed file information including size formatting. Excludes common build directories like node_modules, .git, dist, etc.

list_allowed_directories

Returns the list of directories that this MCP server is allowed to access. This is useful for understanding which directories can be explored or searched before attempting to use other tools. The allowed directories are configured when the server starts and cannot be modified at runtime.
