Files and filesystem MCP servers

Which file and filesystem MCP servers actually answer?

Of 1,265 servers in the official MCP registry that mention Files and filesystem, we checked 573 remote endpoints on 2026-10-04: 304 answered the MCP handshake, 215 answered but asked for sign-in or payment first, and 54 did not complete it. 658 run on your own machine and cannot be checked from outside.

What this does not tell you: whether a server is safe, or whether its tools do what they say. An answer to the handshake proves the endpoint is up, nothing more.

Ranked by our checks and repository activity, not by votes. How we check.
