Connecting a filesystem MCP server

You've spent the week onboarding Claude Code to the uigen-mini project: a CLAUDE.md set up for the codebase, a cross-file fix shipped, the session model explored, and a reusable test command saved. For your last task before the sprint review, give Claude the ability to navigate the project directories directly through an MCP server.

The first two steps are done for you here: the filesystem server is already registered, and its tools are pre-approved so Claude can call them without prompting.
