mcp-server-text-editor
Servidor MCP del editor de texto Claude
Una implementación de código abierto del editor de texto integrado de Claude como servidor de Protocolo de Contexto de Modelo (MCP). Este paquete proporciona la misma funcionalidad que el editor de texto integrado de Claude , lo que permite ver, editar y crear archivos de texto mediante una API estandarizada.
Características
API idéntica al editor de texto de Claude : implementa exactamente la misma interfaz que la herramienta de edición de texto incorporada de Claude
Implementación del servidor MCP : sigue el estándar del Protocolo de contexto de modelo para la integración de herramientas de IA
Operaciones de archivo :
Ver el contenido del archivo con especificación de rango de línea opcional
Crear nuevos archivos
Reemplazar texto en archivos existentes
Insertar texto en números de línea específicos
Deshacer ediciones anteriores

Versiones compatibles del editor de texto Claude
Este paquete implementa una herramienta equivalente a las versiones de la herramienta de edición de texto integrada de Claude :
text_editor_20241022(Soneto Claude 3.5)text_editor_20250124(Soneto Claude 3.7)
Pero use el nombre de herramienta 'text_editor' para evitar conflictos de nombres con las herramientas integradas de Claude.

Available Tools
1 tooltext_editorB
View, create, and edit files with persistent state across command calls. This tool is identical with Claude's built in text editor tool called text_editor_20241022
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| command | Yes | The commands to run. Allowed options are: `view`, `create`, `str_replace`, `insert`, `undo_edit`. | |
| description | Yes | The reason you are using the text editor (max 80 chars) | |
| file_text | No | Required parameter of `create` command, with the content of the file to be created. | |
| insert_line | No | Required parameter of `insert` command. The `new_str` will be inserted AFTER the line `insert_line` of `path`. | |
| new_str | No | Optional parameter of `str_replace` command containing the new string (if not given, no string will be added). Required parameter of `insert` command containing the string to insert. | |
| old_str | No | Required parameter of `str_replace` command containing the string in `path` to replace. | |
| path | Yes | Absolute path to file or directory, e.g. `/repo/file.py` or `/repo`. | |
| view_range | No | Optional parameter of `view` command when `path` points to a file. If none is given, the full file is shown. If provided, the file will be shown in the indicated line number range, e.g. [11, 12] will show lines 11 and 12. Indexing at 1 to start. Setting `[start_line, -1]` shows all lines from `start_line` to the end of the file. |
TDQS
Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?
With no annotations provided, the description carries the full burden. It mentions 'persistent state across command calls,' which is a useful behavioral trait not evident from the schema. However, it lacks details on permissions, error handling, file system interactions, or what 'persistent state' entails operationally. The description adds some value but leaves significant behavioral aspects unexplained.
Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.
Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?
The description is two sentences: the first is front-loaded with core functionality, but the second sentence about being identical to another tool adds no value for tool selection and wastes space. It could be more concise by omitting the redundant second sentence.
Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.
Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?
Given the complexity (8 parameters, no annotations, no output schema), the description is somewhat incomplete. It covers basic purpose and a behavioral trait (persistent state), but lacks details on usage context, error cases, or output expectations. For a multi-command tool with no output schema, more guidance would be helpful.
Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.
Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?
Schema description coverage is 100%, so the schema already documents all parameters thoroughly. The description adds no parameter-specific information beyond what's in the schema. According to the rules, with high schema coverage, the baseline is 3 even with no param info in the description.
Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.
Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?
The description clearly states the tool's purpose: 'View, create, and edit files with persistent state across command calls.' It specifies the actions (view, create, edit) and resource (files), and mentions the persistent state feature. However, it doesn't distinguish from siblings since there are none, and the second sentence about being identical to another tool adds no functional clarity.
Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.
Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?
The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. It mentions it's 'identical with Claude's built in text editor tool,' but this doesn't help an agent decide between this and other file manipulation tools. There are no explicit when/when-not scenarios or prerequisites described.
Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

Scored across 1 tool
With only one tool, there is no possibility of confusion or overlap between tools. The tool has a single, clear purpose for file editing with persistent state, making disambiguation trivial.
A single tool named 'text_editor' follows a clear and consistent naming pattern. There are no other tools to compare against, so no inconsistency can exist.
A single tool for a text editor server feels thin and under-scoped. While it covers basic file operations, typical text editors would benefit from additional tools for tasks like search/replace, formatting, or managing multiple files, making this count borderline inadequate.
The tool surface is severely incomplete for a text editor domain. It lacks essential operations such as search within files, undo/redo functionality, file management (e.g., rename, delete), or formatting options, which are core to text editing workflows.
