Mcp Folder Scout

Overview

Mcp Folder Scout is a Model Context Protocol server that analyzes folder contents with read-only access. It helps you understand what is stored in a folder, identify stale files, and see where disk space is being used. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call Mcp Folder Scout's tools directly during conversation or agent workflows.

The server runs locally on your machine using the Python package mcp-folder-scout, installed via uvx mcp-folder-scout. It communicates with MCP clients over stdio and requires no authentication to get started. The latest release is v0.1.1, distributed under the MIT license with source code available at dharani0804/mcp-folder-scout on GitHub.

Mcp Folder Scout appears in the File System category and integrates with any MCP client including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed, and other ecosystem tools. If you maintain this server, claim your listing to verify ownership and keep information current.
