I don't really recommend using filesystem MCP directly, it won't checkpoint changes so it's easy to end up in a state where you can't recover an older working version of the code. Use an actual coding oriented MCP.

I'm going to try out yours (https://github.com/ezyang/codemcp). I already pay for Cursor, but I'm curious.

EDIT: I really like the way that each change generates a commit, and that all commits in a single session are squashed into one commit, whilst preserving the hash of each individual change.

EDIT2: I also like you only have one function (each command being a 'subtool'), which means Claude Desktop asks for permission only once per session.
