Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

@qpd-v/mcp-delete

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides file deletion capabilities. This server allows AI assistants to safely delete files when needed, with support for both relative and absolute paths.

Features

  • Delete files using relative or absolute paths
  • Smart path resolution that tries multiple potential paths
  • Clear error messages with detailed path resolution information
  • Safe file existence checks before deletion
  • Works with Claude and other MCP-compatible AI assistants

Examples

Using with Claude Desktop

Claude Desktop Example

Using with VSCode Roo Cline Extension

VSCode Roo Cline Example

Installation

npx @qpd-v/mcp-delete

Or install globally:

npm install -g @qpd-v/mcp-delete

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add the server configuration to your Claude Desktop config file:

Windows:

// %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-delete": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"]
    }
  }
}

MacOS:

// ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-delete": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"]
    }
  }
}

VSCode Extension

Add the server configuration to your Cline settings:

Windows:

// %APPDATA%/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-delete": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"]
    }
  }
}

MacOS:

// ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/rooveterinaryinc.roo-cline/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-delete": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@qpd-v/mcp-delete"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

delete_file

Deletes a file at the specified path.

Parameters:

  • path (string, required): Path to the file to delete (relative to working directory or absolute)

Example usage in Claude:

You can ask me to delete a file like this:
"Please delete the file example.txt"

I will use the delete_file tool to safely remove the file.

Path Resolution

The server intelligently handles path resolution by trying multiple approaches:

  1. The exact path as provided
  2. Path relative to the current working directory
  3. Path relative to a specified base directory

This makes it more user-friendly as files can be referenced by relative paths and the server will attempt to locate them correctly.

Development

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/qpd-v/mcp-delete.git
cd mcp-delete

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Debugging

Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. Use the MCP Inspector for debugging:

npm run inspector

This will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
