Unrestricted Development MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI with unrestricted access to your development environment.

Features

✅ Fully Implemented

1. Filesystem Tools (10 tools)

• fs_read_file - Read file contents
• fs_write_file - Write/overwrite files with auto-directory creation
• fs_append_file - Append to existing files
• fs_delete_file - Delete files
• fs_list_directory - List directory contents (recursive support)
• fs_create_directory - Create directories
• fs_delete_directory - Delete directories (recursive support)
• fs_get_file_info - Get file/directory metadata
• fs_move_file - Move/rename files
• fs_copy_file - Copy files

2. Shell Tools (2 tools)

• shell_execute - Execute any shell command with optional sudo
• shell_execute_streaming - Execute long-running commands with streaming output

🚧 Stubbed (TODO)

• Docker tools (container management)
• MongoDB tools (database operations)
• Git tools (version control)
• Process tools (process management)
• Network tools (HTTP, SSH, etc.)

Quick Setup (Ubuntu)

1. Install dependencies:

   cd /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2
   npm install
   

2. Build the project:

   npm run build
   

3. Add to Claude Code:

   Use the Claude Code CLI to add the MCP server:

   claude mcp add-json unrestricted-dev '{"command":"node","args":["/home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2/build/index.js"],"cwd":"/"}'
   

   Verify it's configured:

   claude mcp list
   

   You should see: unrestricted-dev: node /home/connor-boetig/proj/mcp2/build/index.js - ✓ Connected

4. Start using it! - The MCP tools are now available globally in every Claude Code conversation.

   Type /mcp to see your configured servers, or just start asking Claude to use the tools!

Development

Run manually for testing:

npm start

Watch mode for development:

npm run watch

Working Directory Behavior

Important Notes:

• The MCP server launches from the root directory (/) for full system access
• For file operations:
  • Absolute paths (e.g., /home/connor-boetig/projects/file.txt) always work
  • Relative paths (e.g., ./etc/nginx/nginx.conf or home/connor-boetig/file.txt) are relative to /
  • Both absolute and relative paths work seamlessly since we start from root

Security Warning

⚠️ This server grants UNRESTRICTED system access including:

• Full filesystem read/write/delete
• Shell command execution with sudo
• All privileges you have

Only use this on:

• Local development machines (NOT production)
• Trusted environments (VM, Docker, dedicated dev box)
• When you understand and accept the risks

Example Usage

Once connected, the AI can:

// Read a file
await use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
  tool_name: "fs_read_file",
  arguments: { path: "/path/to/file.txt" }
});

// Install a package
await use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
  tool_name: "shell_execute",
  arguments: {
    command: "apt install -y nodejs",
    sudo: true
  }
});

// List directory
await use_mcp_tool({
  server_name: "unrestricted-dev",
  tool_name: "fs_list_directory",
  arguments: {
    path: "/home/user/projects",
    recursive: true,
    showHidden: false
  }
});
