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 Sequential Thinking MCP

Sequential Thinking MCP provides a structured scratchpad tool that encourages AI models to break hard problems into explicit, numbered reasoning steps before committing to an answer. Each thought can branch, revise, or hypothesize, and the final answer is only emitted after the chain is complete. This dramatically improves accuracy on multi-step coding tasks, architecture decisions, debugging sessions, and any problem that benefits from chain-of-thought decomposition — without burning extra context on unstructured rambling.
