I've played a lot with the FileSystem MCP server but couldn't get it to do something useful that I can't already do faster on my own. For instance, asking it how many files have word "main" in it. It returns 267, but in reality there are 12k.
Looks promising, but I am still looking for useful ways to integrate it into my workflow.
In Cursor for example, it gives the agent the ability to connect to the browser to gather console logs, network logs and take screenshots. The agent will often invoke the tools automatically when it is debugging or verifying it's work, without being explicitly prompted to do so.
It's a little bit of a set up process, as it requires a browser extension on top of the MCP configuration.
So, now when Roo Code does tasks for me, it takes notes and searches memory.
It’s good as a means to get a quick POC running, for dev oriented use cases.
I have seen very few implementations that use anything but the tools capabilities though.
The complete lack of auth consideration and the weird orchestration (really the “client” manages its own “server” processes), make me doubt it’s going to get serious adoption in prod. It’s not something I’d have a lot of confidence in supporting for non dev users.
I wrote mcp-hfspace to let you connect to Hugging Face Spaces; that opens up a lot of image generation, vision, audio transcription and other services that can be integrated quickly and easily in to your Host app.
