Deep Directory Tree MCP 🌳
A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation for visualizing and analyzing directory structures. Why? Now you can let AI assistants understand and navigate your project structure efficiently, enabling smarter code navigation and project organization insights.
Built with:
Features
- Deep directory tree visualization
- Configurable depth-based tree generation
- Smart pattern-based file/directory exclusion
- Clean and readable tree output format
- Real-time directory structure updates
- Targeted directory analysis
DEMO:
Quick Start
Prerequisites
- Node.js (v18 or higher)
Smithery Installation
The easiest way to get started is using Smithery:
npx -y @smithery/cli install @andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp --client cursor
Manual Installation
Cursor IDE Setup
-
Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server
-
Configure with these settings:
{ "deep-directory-tree": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"] } }
Claude Desktop Setup
Add the following to your MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"deep-directory-tree": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"]
}
}
}
Usage
Common commands for AI assistants:
- "Show me the directory structure"
- "Visualize project tree up to depth 4"
- "Show files excluding test directories"

Frequently Asked Questions
What is MCP?
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open protocol that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Think of MCP like a USB-C port for AI applications, providing a standardized way to connect AI models to different data sources and tools.
What are MCP Servers?
MCP Servers are lightweight programs that expose specific capabilities through the standardized Model Context Protocol. They act as bridges between LLMs like Claude and various data sources or services, allowing secure access to files, databases, APIs, and other resources.
How do MCP Servers work?
MCP Servers follow a client-server architecture where a host application (like Claude Desktop) connects to multiple servers. Each server provides specific functionality through standardized endpoints and protocols, enabling Claude to access data and perform actions through the standardized protocol.
Are MCP Servers secure?
Yes, MCP Servers are designed with security in mind. They run locally with explicit configuration and permissions, require user approval for actions, and include built-in security features to prevent unauthorized access and ensure data privacy.
