mcp-folder-scout: a read-only MCP server that lets AI triage your folders safely
Dazzling-Relation-62 · reddit · 2026-11-03
A developer published mcp-folder-scout, a small read-only MCP server letting AI assistants triage a folder — contents, stale files, disk-space hogs — without any write access.
- Built because the author wanted AI help cleaning messy directories without granting write access.
- Reports structure, flags stale/old files, shows where disk space goes; deliberately read-only with sensitive-file protections.
- Built with FastMCP in Python, published on PyPI and the official MCP registry (pip install mcp-folder-scout).
