install @matj.dev/filesystem-mcp on Claude Desktop

Requires Node 18+ on your system so npx can fetch the package on first run. Claude Desktop only speaks stdio locally; HTTP servers are wrapped via npx mcp-remote automatically. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register @matj.dev/filesystem-mcp.

paste into

macos: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "filesystem": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@matj.dev/filesystem-mcp",
        "--tools",
        "read_file,read_multiple_files",
        "C:\\Projects"
      ]
    }
  }
}
