Yeah, I guess my question was: that assumes the MCP server is running on the same machine as your files? Otherwise, if it's a remote MCP server then you would have to be developing on that remote machine? That may be an obvious "yes" so I just wonder why there are so many posts around hosting MCP servers via Cloudfare or what have you if they can't even edit your files on your machine.
The simplest way is to have a command that the MCP server can hit to interface with the filesystem.
This is the simplest way I know of to get started with it.
