file-finder-mcp MCP Server

A MCP server for searching files in the filesystem based on a path fragment.

Components

Resources

The server implements a file search system:

  • Each file resource includes:

    • File name

    • Full path

    • File size

    • Creation date

Tools

The server provides one tool:

  • search-files: Searches for files matching a given path fragment.

    • Takes query as a required string argument.

    • Takes directory as an optional string argument to specify the base directory for the search. If not provided, the search runs in the root directory.

    • Returns a list of matching files with their metadata.

Quickstart

Install

Replace the contents of the cline_mcp_settings.json file with the following configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "file-finder-mcp": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "/Users/stleubaev/Desktop/ClineTest/file-finder-mcp",
        "run",
        "file-finder-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Testing

The testing was conducted using the Gemini model with the following prompt:

hi can you find files called file_to_find on my desktop using my mcp server

    Disambiguation5/5

    With only one tool, there is no possibility of ambiguity or overlap between tools. The single tool 'search-files' has a clear and distinct purpose, so agents cannot misselect between non-existent alternatives.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    A single tool inherently has perfect naming consistency, as there are no other tools to compare it against. The tool name 'search-files' follows a verb_noun pattern, but consistency cannot be assessed across a set of one.

    Tool Count2/5

    A single tool is too few for most server purposes, as it severely limits functionality and scope. For a 'file-finder' server, one might expect additional tools like list directories, filter by type, or get file metadata, making this feel incomplete and thin.

    Completeness2/5

    The server's domain appears to be file searching, but with only a search tool, there are significant gaps. For example, no tools exist to navigate directories, retrieve file details, or handle errors, which could lead to agent failures in broader file-related tasks.
