About Filesystem MCP

The official Anthropic filesystem MCP server provides sandboxed access to your local file system with configurable allowed directories. It exposes tools to read file contents, list directories, write and create files, move files, search by pattern, and get file metadata — giving AI assistants controlled, auditable access to your codebase without arbitrary shell execution. Ships as part of Anthropic's reference MCP servers collection.

About Memory MCP

The official Anthropic memory MCP server gives AI assistants persistent, cross-session memory using a local knowledge graph stored as a JSON file. Claude can create entities (people, projects, concepts), record relations between them, and add observations over time — then recall that information in future sessions. Ideal for long-running projects where continuity matters: the assistant remembers your architecture decisions, team conventions, and in-progress work without you having to repeat context.
