What it does

FI-Mihej/text_file_read_and_refactor_mcp is a Python-based Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a suite of safe, efficient tools for text file operations. It specializes in searching, reading, and refactoring text files while automatically handling file encoding complexities like BOM (Byte Order Mark) and codepage detection. This tool is designed to be token-efficient, making it suitable for integration with AI assistants and development workflows.

How to set up

This is a Python stdio MCP server that requires Python installation. Users can clone the repository from GitHub and install dependencies. The server runs as a stdio process and integrates with MCP-compatible clients like Claude, ChatGPT, and AI Studio through their respective MCP server configuration mechanisms.
