## Directory Access Control
The server uses a flexible directory access control system. Directories can be specified via command-line arguments or dynamically via the MCP roots protocol.

### Method 2: MCP Roots (Recommended)
MCP clients that support [Roots](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/roots) can dynamically update the Allowed directories.
Roots notified by Client to Server, completely replace any server-side Allowed directories when provided.
**Important**: If server starts without command-line arguments AND client doesn't support roots protocol (or provides empty roots), the server will throw an error during initialization.
This is the recommended method, as MCP roots protocol for dynamic directory management. This enables runtime directory updates via `roots/list_changed` notifications without server restart, providing a more flexible and modern integration experience.
