MCP
Windows file-system AI explorer in desktop apps
A desktop AI assistant powered by the Model Context Protocol that provides a conversational interface to local and cloud files. Integrated within Windows AI Foundry, it can search, summarize, and open user‑approved documents directly from File Explorer. Utilizing MCP servers, it respects folder access permissions, enables natural-language file queries

Challenges
Securely exposing local files through MCP without exposing unrelated system data or sensitive directories.
Maintaining user consent and permissions for file access while supporting seamless query experience.
Handling diverse file formats (PDFs, Word, images) and location sources (local, cloud sync, network drives).
Preventing malicious file reads or unintended remote execution via MCP tool endpoints.

Solution
Implemented an MCP server tagged to Windows File Explorer with scoped access, limited to user-approved folders.
Enforced per-session user consent dialogs and maintained a registry of allowed paths tracked via MCP metadata.
Added format parsers on MCP server (PDF, DOCX, images) using libraries like Apache Tika, ensuring sanitized and safe extraction.
Sandboxed MCP process with OS-level containment and strict JSON-RPC validation to block unauthorized operations.

Technologies We Used
Creation Process
Market Research & Product Vision Shaping
- Interviewed Windows users to understand file access pain points and demand for conversational file search.
- Defined vision for a local MCP file explorer enabling natural‑language queries and contextual document retrieval.
- Outlined user control and security needs, prioritizing explicit folder consent and sandboxed file reads.
Strategic Consultation & Vendor Partnerships
- Evaluated MCP SDKs and filesystem tools (Node.js, Python local servers) for cross-platform compatibility.
- Aligned with Microsoft Windows AI Foundry guidelines and registry requirements for MCP servers. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Paired with security vendors to define sandboxing, consent dialogs, and permission tracking architecture. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
System Architecture Design & Technical Compliance:
- Designed an MCP server process isolated from main OS, restricted by path whitelisting and JSON‑RPC schema enforcement.
- Specified user‑approved directory registry, per-session consent model, and OS-level sandbox policies.
- Defined parsers for diverse formats (PDF, DOCX, images) using sanitized extraction libraries like Apache Tika.
Application Development & Integration
- Developed the MCP file‑server module in TypeScript for Windows, binding to File Explorer through CLI invocation.
- Built the host-side Windows AI Foundry integration to query, summarize, and open files via MCP tools.
- Launched initial pilot with internal users, monitored user actions and consent flows, then expanded deployment based on telemetry.
Development & Performance Scalability:
- During the development phase, we ensured that the FitGrid application was accessible and inclusive for all users, overcoming challenges related to large customer bases.
- Our team worked to create applications that could perform effectively regardless of customer size, focusing on scalability and inclusivity.
- Development efforts were aimed at building a robust app that performs seamlessly, no matter the size of the customer base or the geographical location.
