Frequently Asked Questions

Architecture and operational details for Local Filesystem

You configure accessible directories by editing the `config.json` file in the project root of Local Filesystem. You list absolute paths, and Claude will only be able to perform read/write operations within these specified directories and their subdirectories. An empty array means no access is granted, acting as a fail-safe.
