The MCP Character Counter server provides detailed character analysis for text:
Count total characters
Count characters excluding spaces
Count letters (a-z, A-Z)
Count numbers (0-9)
Count symbols (non-alphanumeric characters)
Get detailed breakdown of character types
Enables GitHub Copilot to analyze text composition with character counting functionality through Copilot Chat commands
MCP Character Counter
A lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides detailed character analysis for text. This tool counts total characters, characters without spaces, letters, numbers, and symbols.
Features
Count total characters in text
Count characters excluding spaces
Count letters (az, AZ)
Count numbers (0-9)
Count symbols (non-alphanumeric characters)
Detailed breakdown of character types
Installation
Prerequisites
Node.js v17 or higher
Claude Desktop or GitHub Copilot or Other MCP supported clients
Setup
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/webreactiva-devs/mcp-character-counter.git cd mcp-character-counterInstall dependencies:
npm install
Usage with Claude Desktop
Open your Claude Desktop configuration:
macOS :
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.jsonWindows :
code %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.jsonAdd the character counter to your MCP servers:
{ "mcpServers": { "character-counter": { "command": "node", "args": [ "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/webreactiva-devs/mcp-character-counter/mcp/character-counter.js" ] } } }Replace
/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/
with the current path on your system.Restart Claude Desktop to load the new MCP server.
Look for the hammer icon in the input box, which indicates available MCP tools.
Ask Claude to analyze text character counts, for example:
"Count the characters in this paragraph"
"How many numbers are in this text: '123 Main St, Apt 45B'?"
"Analyze the character composition of my email address"
Usage with GitHub Copilot
To use this MCP server with GitHub Copilot:
Make sure you have GitHub Copilot installed in your VS Code or other compatible IDE.
Open VS Code settings and search for "Copilot MCP".
Add a new MCP server configuration:
"github.copilot.advanced": { "mcp.servers": [ { "id": "character-counter", "name": "Character Counter", "transport": "stdio", "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/webreactiva-devs/mcp-character-counter/mcp/character-counter.js"] } ] }Restart VS Code.
You can now use the character counter with Copilot Chat commands like:
/mcp count-characters-in-text This is the text I want to analyze
Development
To modify or extend this MCP server:
Make your changes to
character-counter.js
Restart the server in your MCP client
How It Works
This MCP server implements a single tool called count-characters-in-text
that accepts text input and returns a detailed analysis of character composition. The server uses the Model Context Protocol to expose this functionality to compatible AI assistants.
