Filesystem
FreeNot checkedEnables natural language filesystem operations (create, list, delete directories/files) via Ollama local LLM and MCP protocol within allowed directories.
About
Enables natural language filesystem operations (create, list, delete directories/files) via Ollama local LLM and MCP protocol within allowed directories.
README
A simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) application that provides filesystem operations using Ollama local LLM. This project demonstrates the integration of local AI models with filesystem operations through a client-server architecture.
Architecture

Features
- Client-server architecture using MCP protocol
- Integration with Ollama local LLM (Microsoft Phi-3 3.8b model)
- Directory creation capabilities
- Conversational CLI interface
- Secure file system operations within allowed directories
Prerequisites
- Node.js
- Ollama with Phi-3 3.8b model installed
- Basic understanding of terminal operations
Installation
- Clone the repository
- Install dependencies:
npm install
Configuration
The server accepts allowed directories as command-line arguments. These directories will be the only locations where the application can perform filesystem operations.
Usage
Start the server:
npm start
The client will automatically start the server and connect to Ollama. You can then interact with the system through natural language commands.
Example commands:
- "Create a directory named 'test'"
- "List the files in the current directory"
- "Delete the file 'test.txt'"
