Bio
Part of the official Model Context Protocol reference servers. Gives an agent read/write access to a filesystem: list directories, read and edit files, search by name, inspect file metadata, restricted to an explicit allow-list of directories, with no network access at all.

Finding and reading a config file

Find the eslint config in this project and show me the rules.

agent
Found .eslintrc.json - it extends eslint:recommended and downgrades no-unused-vars to a warning. No other custom rules.
