Files MCP Server

This library provides an MCP server for local testing with any client that supports the Model Context Protocol.

Install

1. Clone this repository locally (will update once we are published to NPM)
2. In your MCP client of choice add this server using npx -y {ABSOLUTE LOCAL PATH}\files-mcp-server
3. Edit the server configuration to include the require env vars

   {
    "mcp": {
        "servers": {
            "my-mcp-server-1da66260": {
                    "type": "stdio",
                    "command": "npx",
                    "args": [
                        "-y",
                        "D:\\github\\files-mcp-server"
                    ],
                    "env": {
                        "ODMCP_TENANT_ID": "{TENANT_ID}",
                        "ODMCP_CLIENT_ID": "{CLIENT_ID}",
                        "ODMCP_THUMBPRINT": "{THUMBPRINT}",
                        "ODMCP_PRIVATE_KEY": "{BASE64_ENCODED_PRIVATE_KEY}",
                    },
                },
             }
        }
   }

4. Begin interacting with the server

Local Development

1. Create a .env file

ODMCP_TENANT_ID="{TENANT_ID}"
ODMCP_CLIENT_ID="{CLIENT_ID}"
ODMCP_THUMBPRINT="{THUMBPRINT}"
ODMCP_PRIVATE_KEY="{BASE64_ENCODED_PRIVATE_KEY}"

2. Hit F5 to start the server and debug
3. Inspector works well for testing the MCP server itself or use your LLM Client of choice!

Encode private key

To help you base64 encode your certificate's private key you can update the file /src/encodekey.ts with your private key and run npm run encode-key. The base64 encoded key will be output on the commandline.

Do NOT check in updates to the encodekey.ts file including your private key information 🙂.
