MCP File Tools — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP File Tools?
MCP File Tools runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone.
Is MCP File Tools open source?
Yes — it is published under the GPL-3.0 licence, written in Go and 1 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
