Filesystem

1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
2. Merge the snippet below into it.
3. Restart the agent — the "Filesystem" tools will be available.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
        "/Users/you/Desktop",
        "/Users/you/Projects"
      ]
    }
  }
}

1. In ChatGPT, open Settings → Connectors → Advanced and enable Developer mode.
2. Click Create and add the server's remote URL (SSE or streamable HTTP endpoint).
3. Enable the connector in a conversation to use its tools.

Note: ChatGPT only supports remote MCP servers. If this server runs locally via a command, you'll need to host it behind an HTTP endpoint first — check the repository for a hosted option.

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": [
    "-y",
    "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem",
    "/path/to/allowed/dir"
  ]
}
