get_deep_directory_tree
Get deep directory tree
LABSCO SUMMARY
One call in place of a directory listing at every level.
get_deep_directory_tree takes a path and an options argument and returns the structure underneath, which is the shape a model needs while it is orienting in an unfamiliar repository. File contents are not part of it — the answer is structure, and reading anything in that tree is another tool's job.
What it is
A single-tool file server that walks a path and returns the structure below it.
What you get
- Get the full nested tree under one path from a single call.
- Shape what that walk returns through the options argument.
Requirements
The path is read on the machine the server runs on, so the walk reaches whatever that account can read; nothing else needs configuring.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y @andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp
USE CASES
01
Orienting in a repository nobody has explained to you
One call returns the layout, so the model can decide what to open rather than guessing directory names.
