local-mcp File Editing Skill

Skill by ara.so — MCP Skills collection.

Overview

local-mcp is a Rust-based MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that exposes local filesystem and command execution capabilities to AI agents. It provides:

• File operations: Read, write, and list files
• Image reading: Native MCP image content for PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, AVIF
• Sandboxed command execution: Network-isolated commands using Landlock (Linux) or Seatbelt (macOS)
• Session-based permissions: Each project gets its own permission context
• Live activity monitoring: Real-time diffs and command output in the start UI
• Background job management: Long-running commands with polling support

Commands run sandboxed by default (no network access). Unsandboxed commands require explicit approval through the interactive UI.
