What is MCP Tools Server?

The MCP Tools Server acts like a secure bridge between AI assistants (like Claude) and your computer. It allows the AI to safely access your files and run commands when you give permission, while keeping everything under your control.

How does it work?

The server runs on your computer and follows strict rules about what the AI can access. When Claude needs to read a file or run a command, it asks the server, which then checks with you before proceeding.

When would I use this?

Useful when you want Claude to help with coding, analyze local files, automate tasks, or work with your documents - all while keeping your data private on your own computer.
