How to use MCP CLI server in Claude Desktop?
1. Edit claude_desktop_config.json: Claude Desktop -> Settings -> Developer -> Edit Config
2. Add the following configuration to the servers section:
{
"mcpServers": {
"rs_filesystem": {
"command": "/path/to/rs_filesystem",
"args": [
"--mcp"
],
"env": {
"MCP_RS_FILESYSTEM_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES": "/path/number/one:/path/number/two"
}
}
}
}
Make sure you use the actual path to the rs_filesystem binary.
Make sure the MCP_RS_FILESYSTEM_ALLOWED_DIRECTORIES env variable is set to a colon-separated list of allowed directories.
The tools will only work inside those directories.
If you want to check MCP log, please use tail -n 20 -f ~/Library/Logs/Claude/rs_filesystem.logs.jsonl.
