Step 5: Verify It Works
Start a new session. Ask Claude:
“What MCP tools do you have available?”
Claude should list the filesystem tools: read_file, read_multiple_files, write_file, edit_file, create_directory, list_directory, directory_tree, move_file, search_files, get_file_info. If you see those, the server is running.
Then test it:
“List the files in my Documents folder.”
If Claude returns a file listing rather than saying it can’t access your filesystem, you’re done. The server is working.
