Proofmark Files

A read-only MCP server that lets an assistant list directories and read text files inside one folder you choose.

What you can do

• List a directory's contents, with folders marked by a trailing slash
• Read a text file, up to the first 64 KB
• Confine every path, symlinks included, to the configured root folder

When to use it

Useful when you want an assistant to consult or summarize files in a specific project or document folder without giving it write access or visibility into the rest of the disk.

Requirements

Runs locally over stdio, typically via npx with the npm package proofmark-files, so Node.js is needed. Set the FILES_ROOT environment variable to the folder to expose; it defaults to the working directory. No account or API key.
