MCP support
fileman mcp exposes the same organization engine as an MCP server for agents. The README does not specify individual MCP operations.
Configuration
Local server config is the same for every client. Copy it into your client’s MCP config file.
We haven’t collected a package or remote endpoint for this server. Follow the instructions in the project README.
Tools
Local servers expose tools only once running on your machine, and the maintainer has not provided a tool list.

AI-assisted file triage. Manifest-first, never destructive.
What You Get
| Surface | What |
|---|---|
fileman cli | Scan, plan, manifest. Apply only when you nod. |
fileman webui | Browse the plan. Approve, edit, or send back for another pass. |
fileman mcp | Same engine, exposed as an MCP server for any agent. |
contracts & manifest | Plans are diffable. Plans are reviewable. Plans are receipts. |
public skills | Drop into Claude/Codex/OpenClaw. Hand it a folder. Get a library. |
Important
Local-first by default. No silent telemetry. No cloud round-trip. Your data stays on your machine until you explicitly ship it somewhere.
Install
git clone https://github.com/xiaojiou176-open/fileman.git
cd fileman
# follow the per-stack quickstart in INSTALL.md or docs/
Three commands. No curl | sh. No login. Read what you run.
Install break? Open your favorite agent and say "Read AGENTS.md and bootstrap fileman for me." Agent fix own brain. Long version: docs/.
How It Work
The repo is seven layers — exactly the seven commits in git log. New work goes in as small named PRs. No 50-file mystery commits.
| Layer | What |
|---|---|
chore: scaffold | License, governance, hygiene gates, CI scaffolding. |
feat(core) | The primary engine. The reason fileman exists. |
feat(modules) | Packages, adapters, services, plugins. The second floor. |
feat(contracts) | Schemas, configs, public boundaries. Other code talks here. |
test: | Receipts. Everything in this layer must run. |
feat(ops) | Scripts, infra, CI helpers, build glue. |
docs: | Public docs surface. The pretty face. |
git log reads like a building floor plan. Look once, know the whole shape.
Ecosystem
fileman lives in the yard family: seven yards. one philosophy: structured input, structured output, structured proof.
| Repo | What |
|---|---|
| switchyard | model & agent runtime switch board |
| browserclickyard | your AI clicks, your browser obeys |
| noteyard | your Apple Notes never really die |
| dealyard | let prices fight, you sit and watch |
| docyard | docs site in, markdown out, no scraping by hand |
| fileman (you here) | messy folders in, organized library out |
| proofyard | every claim ships with its receipt |

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.
