Rust MCP Filesystem

A high-performance, asynchronous, and lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built in Rust for secure and efficient filesystem operations. It operates in read-only mode by default, supports advanced glob search, MCP Roots, ZIP archive creation/extraction, and tool disabling for token efficiency.
