Implementation Reference

• src/tools/search.ts:243-260 (handler)

  Implementation of the find_by_content logic.

  async function findByContentImpl(input: {
    text: string;
    path?: string;
    file_pattern?: string;
    max_results?: number;
  }): Promise<ToolResult> {
    // Escape special regex characters for literal search
    const escapedText = input.text.replace(/[.*+?^${}()|[\]\\]/g, '\\$&');
  
    return await grepSearchImpl({
      pattern: escapedText,
      path: input.path,
      glob: input.file_pattern,
      case_sensitive: true,
      max_results: input.max_results ?? 100,
      context_lines: 0,
    });
  }

• src/tools/search.ts:300-313 (registration)

  Registration of the find_by_content MCP tool.

  // find_by_content tool (simpler interface)
  server.tool(
    'find_by_content',
    'Find files containing specific text',
    {
      text: z.string().describe('Text to search for (literal, not regex)'),
      path: z.string().optional().describe('Directory to search'),
      file_pattern: z.string().optional().describe('File pattern (e.g., *.ts)'),
      max_results: z.number().optional().describe('Maximum results'),
    },
    async (args) => {
      return await findByContentImpl(args);
    }
  );
