move_file
Moves or renames files/directories (git-aware: uses git mv for tracked files, else filesystem move)
How to use it
Project documentation lists move_file for the MCP Workspace MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
