The Model Context Protocol (MCP) server is a lightweight framework designed to facilitate the interaction between AI agents and local systems through a modular command platform.

Tools

  1. create_file

    Create a new .txt file in the shared directory.

  2. create_local_file

    Create a .txt file in a local directory (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, or a custom path).

  3. list_files

    Returns a list of all .txt files in the shared directory.

  4. read_file

    Reads and returns the content of the specified .txt file.

  5. test_new_function

    Simple tool to verify that the FastMCP server is working.

File_reader_AI_agent

create MCP server to either list, read, or write files in your shared directory using claude LLM

change the files_directory location and "args" in claude_desktop_config.json accordingly

MCP

MCP stands for Modular Command Platform. It is a lightweight framework that lets you build AI agent servers using Python.

MCP lets you define "tools" — small, reusable functions — that an AI agent — Claude in this case — can call as part of its reasoning process. Like giving an LLM a list of actions it can use to interact with your computer or application.

The MCP server exposes these tools through a local API, so agents can:

  • Read files
  • Write to disk
  • Query data
  • Control apps or hardware ...and more, in a modular, secure way

FastMCP is a simplified version optimized for fast development and demos.

Features

Create .txt files with custom content

List all .txt files in a target directory

Read contents of individual files

Create files in common local system directories (Desktop, Documents, etc.)

Automatically bootstraps with a welcome.txt file on first run

Simple test endpoint to verify server functionality

Directory Setup

The server uses a specific directory for storing its files:

C:/"whatever file path you want"

If the directory doesn't exist, it's created automatically. A default file welcome.txt is added with a welcome message on the first run.

Requirements

Python 3.8+

fastmcp library (pip install fastmcp)

Running the Server (python file_reader_server.py)

This starts the FastMCP server and initializes the shared file directory.

Tools

create_file(filename, content)

  • Create a new .txt file in the shared directory.

create_local_file(filename, content, location="desktop")

  • Create a .txt file in a local directory (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, or a custom path).
  • filename: Must end with .txt
  • location: Choose from "desktop", "documents", "downloads", or a full path

list_files()

  • Returns a list of all .txt files in the shared directory.

read_file(filename)

  • Reads and returns the content of the specified .txt file.

test_new_function()

  • Simple tool to verify that the FastMCP server is working.
