Wyrd

Wyrd exposes one user-granted folder to an AI client as read-only file access, confined behind a path-containment fence.

What you can do

Wyrd is a local MCP server that serves exactly one folder that the user explicitly grants. It exposes that folder to any AI client in read-only mode, so the assistant can read files within the granted directory. Access is enforced by a documented path boundary that keeps requests inside the granted folder. The manifest does not list individual tool names.

When to use it

Use it when you want an AI assistant to read files from a specific local folder without giving it write access or access to the rest of your machine. It fits workflows where a single project or document directory should be exposed to the client.

Requirements

Runs as a local process over stdio, installed from the npm package wyrd-mcp (for example via npx). It requires an absolute path to the folder to serve, set either with the --grant argument or the WYRD_GRANT environment variable; the server refuses to start if neither is set. No authentication is declared.
