search_files

Search recursively for files and directories within allowed paths in the MCP Filesystem Server. Match partial names case-insensitively and specify exclusions to filter results. Ideal for locating files without knowing their exact location.

Instructions

Recursively search for files and directories matching a pattern. Searches through all subdirectories from the starting path. The search is case-insensitive and matches partial names. Returns full paths to all matching items. Great for finding files when you don't know their exact location. Only searches within allowed directories.
