Add Filesystem- server to community list

[Oncorporation]

Description

Adds code-workspace like functionality to Visual Studio 2022. Allowing local access to selected additional project files to add context to your current workspace. It gives access only to user selected folders and file types.

Motivation and Context

I work on many projects and this allows me to pull context and code from other projects as if they were in the same code-workspace.

How Has This Been Tested?

I run this on several workstations that use VS 2022 Professional for legacy projects.

Breaking Changes

None

Types of changes

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update

Checklist

• I have read the MCP Protocol Documentation
• My changes follows MCP security best practices
• I have updated the server's README accordingly
• I have tested this with an LLM client
• My code follows the repository's style guidelines
• New and existing tests pass locally
• I have added appropriate error handling
• I have documented all environment variables and configuration options

Additional context

The selected project folders and files can be set in either a config.json for troubleshooting or in the MCP definition in .mcp.json.

If the user prefers to only use config.json, it needs to be copied in the same folder as .mcp.json. This is more difficult to maintain.

The mcp definition is preferred:

"filesystem-server": { "command": "python", "args": [ "D:/Projects/filesystem_server/app.py", "--allowed-dirs", "D:/projects", "D:/Webs" "--allowed-extensions", ".py", ".js", ".ts", ".json", ".md", ".txt", ".yml", ".yaml", ".toml", ".cfg", ".ini", ".css", ".scss", ".htm", ".html", ], "cwd": "D:/Projects/filesystem_server" }

[nitpick] The description is repetitive and could be more concise. Consider shortening to: 'Local MCP server for Visual Studio 2022 that provides code-workspace functionality by giving AI agents selective access to project folders and files.'
