Paths Tree Generator

Converts a flat list of filesystem paths into a JSON directory tree.

This repository contains aminimalModel Context Protocolserverthat exposes one tool –paths_to_tree– which converts a flat list of filesystem paths into a JSON directory tree.

python -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt

# a) Development mode – auto-reload & web inspector mcp dev main.py # b) Plain stdio mode – good for Cursor / Claude Desktop integrations python main.py

Using the server in Cursor or Claude Desktop

Add an entry to your MCP configuration (examples shown for Cursor):

{ "mcpServers": { "paths-tree": { "command": "/absolute/path/to/python", "args": ["/absolute/path/to/main.py"] } } }

Restart your host application and thepaths_to_treetool will be available for use.

Feel free to extend the project with additional tools (e.g. serialisation to Markdown, filtering, etc.) – just decorate functions with@mcp.tool()and they will automatically be exposed through MCP.
