Manage local files programmatically

Create, read, update, and delete files on the local filesystem

Overview

This use case demonstrates how to implement manage local files programmatically using the Filesystem MCP server. Follow the instructions below to get started.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Node.js installed on your machine
  • An API key for the Filesystem service

Implementation

Here's a step-by-step guide to implementing this use case:

1. Install the package

npm install filesystem

2. Set up your environment

Create a new file and import the necessary dependencies:

import { Filesystem } from 'filesystem';

// Initialize the client
const client = new Filesystem({
apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
});

3. Implement the functionality

Now you can use the client to implement the manage local files programmatically functionality:

async function filemanagement() {
try {
  const result = await client.query({
    // Add your query parameters here
    // ...
  });
  
  console.log(result);
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error);
  throw error;
}
}

// Call the function
filemanagement();
