Available Tools
delete_file
Deletes a file at the specified path.
Parameters:
path
(string, required): Path to the file to delete (relative to working directory or absolute)
Example usage in Claude:
You can ask me to delete a file like this:
"Please delete the file example.txt"
I will use the delete_file tool to safely remove the file.
Path Resolution
The server intelligently handles path resolution by trying multiple approaches:
- The exact path as provided
- Path relative to the current working directory
- Path relative to a specified base directory
This makes it more user-friendly as files can be referenced by relative paths and the server will attempt to locate them correctly.
Development
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/qpd-v/mcp-delete.git
cd mcp-delete
Install dependencies:
npm install
Build the server:
npm run build
For development with auto-rebuild:
npm run watch
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. Use the MCP Inspector for debugging:
npm run inspector
This will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
