Claude Desktop gains file, GitHub, and PostgreSQL access via MCP servers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

A developer has detailed three practical Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that enhance the functionality of Claude Desktop. These servers, including Filesystem, GitHub, and PostgreSQL, allow Claude to directly access project files, browse GitHub repositories for code reviews, and query databases without leaving the conversation. The setup for each server is described as a quick process involving the `mcp-hub` command-line tool and a configuration file, though a warning is issued about the potential risks of the Filesystem server.
