_ Local-first JuiceFS storage for Linux, with MCP tools for Cursor, Claude Code, and Hermes.

The Problem
Most AI agents can read files — but only if you point them at random folders on your laptop. That’s fragile, hard to isolate, and useless when you want durable storage (multi-volume, quotas, web UI) that agents can use safely.
MeshDrive is a local-first Linux storage layer (JuiceFS + SQLite metadata) with a terminal UI, loopback Filebrowser, and a free MCP server so agents can list, read, and write files only inside an isolated root (/opt/meshdrive by default).
No cloud required for the free tier.. Your data stays on your disks.
What you get
JuiceFS volumes mounted under one install root
Filebrowser on http://127.0.0.1:8080 (human UI)
MCP tools for AI clients: health_check, list_storage_backends, read_file, write_file, list_directory, and more
Path isolation — agents cannot escape the MeshDrive root
Optional OpenFGA for authorization (free add-on
