Step 1: Find the Package
The filesystem server lives at @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem on npm. You don’t install it the way you’d install a tool you run directly — MCP servers are launched on demand by Claude Code, so you reference the package and Claude Code handles running it.
You can verify the package exists and see its current version:
npm info @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystemIf that returns package information, you’re ready to configure it.
