About MCP Server

A collection of simple MCP servers intended for local execution, including filesystem access, constrained shell execution, SSE fetch and echo, and weather lookup. It is aimed at developers experimenting with local tools and Claude Desktop workflows.

Key features

  1. 01Read and write files in allowed directories
  2. 02Run shell commands in approved directories
  3. 03SSE fetch and echo server
  4. 04Weather data lookup

Use cases

  1. 01Manipulate local files from Claude Desktop
  2. 02Run shell commands within approved directories
  3. 03Test fetch and echo over SSE
  4. 04Retrieve weather data through APIs

MCP support

The repository contains local MCP servers that communicate over MCP; its setup describes configuring them in Claude Desktop.

Configuration

Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.

No install method listed yet

We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.

MCP Server

This repository contains a collection of simple Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers designed for local execution. The included servers, such as mcp-filesystem (a clone of Anthropic's official filesystem server) and mcp-cmd-exec, can be combined with the Claude Desktop App to create a low-power Claude Code without an API KEY.

By running these servers, you can integrate them with the Claude Desktop App to perform tasks like file manipulation and command execution .

This project is fully built by Claude Desktop App (including git management) using the mcp-filesystem and mcp-cmd-exec servers.

Overview

MCP servers enable local execution of commands, file operations, and other utilities, communicating via the Model Context Protocol. This repo provides a starting point for developers to experiment with or extend these servers.

Included Servers

mcp-filesystem: A clone of Anthropic’s official filesystem server, allowing file read/write operations within specified directories. Ideal for managing local files through Claude. mcp-cmd-exec: Executes shell commands in pre-approved directories with security constraints. Pairs well with mcp-filesystem for a complete local tooling setup. mcp-sse: A SSE server for simple fetch and echo can be used with cursor now. mcp-weather-node: A weather server, For fetching weather data via APIs.

Getting Started

To use these repos in your system, you need Node v18 or higher and Claude Desktop installed.

Then u can clone

git clone https://github.com/anishgowda21/mcp-local-servers
cd mcp-local-servers

and build the projects.

cd <server name>
npm run build

and edit the claude config file to look like below.

{
  "globalShortcut": "",
  "mcpServers": {
    "file-system": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE PATH/mcp-local-servers/mcp-filesystem/dist/index.js",
        "/Allowed dir absloute path"
      ]
    },
    "cmd-exec": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": [
        "/ABSOLUTE PATH/mcp-local-servers/mcp-cmd-exec/dist/index.js",
        "/Allowed dir absloute path"
      ]
    }
  }
}

and restart the Claude app and enjoy.

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.

An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
