"General search for files or file-related information" matching MCP servers:

Enables natural-language search over locally indexed files such as markdown, text, images, videos, and PDFs, and retrieves indexed text or media metadata by path. It lets Cursor query a local embedding index built with Gemini and SQLite.

Enables fast file search on macOS using the native mdfind (Spotlight) command, with support for filtering, regex, sorting, and limiting results.

Enables Claude Cowork on Windows to read, write, edit, list, find, and regex-search files inside a WSL distribution over stdio, accepting Windows and Linux path spellings. Access is confined to server-fixed roots, with secrets files refused, key-shaped strings redacted, and no delete or move operations.

MCP server for Google's Gemini File Search (RAG). Manage file search stores, upload documents, and query with RAG through 12 tools.

Generates test files locally (images, PDFs, CSVs, corrupted files, etc.) from natural language prompts, with configurable sizes and safety limits.

A read-only MCP server that provides document awareness for agents by parsing local files into structured profiles, blocks, chunks, and search results, enabling agents to understand and cite document content without dealing with raw file formats.

A lightweight MCP server for basic file operations, enabling reading, writing, and listing files securely via the Model Context Protocol.

Enables agents to perform workspace-scoped file deletion through a ticket-gated workflow: preview paths and risks, move approved files into a recoverable .del batch, then permanently purge them after confirmation.

Enables local file management through natural language interactions using the Gemini API, with tools for listing, reading, writing, deleting, and updating files.

Local-first filesystem MCP bridge with ripgrep search, atomic writes, multiple transports

Enables AI assistants to list directories, read, write, and search files within a locked root directory, using resolve-then-validate path checks, size caps, and binary detection to prevent sandbox escapes.

Windows-first MCP server for deterministic file writes with atomic create, replace, and structured edit operations, preserving encoding and newline styles.

Enables uploading local files to Slack with a message, supporting channels, DMs, threads, and file titles.

Enables local analysis of unstructured documents (PDF, DOCX, PPTX, SVG, PNG) by extracting text and structure with citation anchors, and verifies summaries against source material before a human approves saving a report.

Enables broad web search for current, time-sensitive information, returning short title, URL, and snippet results rather than full pages. It supports region and result-count parameters through a keyless multi-engine backend.

Read selected local folders from ChatGPT on macOS, with per-folder read-only or read-write access and hash-checked, recoverable edits. Requires local installation and a private ChatGPT app. The Glama container is a synthetic evaluation demo; it does not connect to files on your Mac.

Provides DuckDuckGo web search through MCP with automatic failover across multiple backends, enabling reliable query results even when individual backends are rate-limited or blocked.

Enables semantic search over markdown files to find related notes by meaning rather than keywords, and automatically detect duplicate content before creating new notes.

A secure MCP server for converting documents between Markdown, DOCX, HTML, PDF, and TXT formats within a sandboxed working directory.

Enables accessing and managing files from configured folders with filtering and size limits, allowing listing, reading, and searching files via MCP tools and resources.

Enables listing, reading, and searching local files and directories through MCP tools.

Enables AI models to perform file operations, user management, automations, and more within Files.com's secure file transfer platform via the Model Context Protocol.

A local MCP server that gives Claude Code web search capabilities using DuckDuckGo, enabling discovery of URLs from natural language queries.

A local-first, no-API-key MCP server that enables LLMs to search the web, fetch pages, and read documents using multiple engines and smart fallbacks.

An MCP server that allows coding agents to search the Swift Package Index and retrieve GitHub READMEs without requiring an API key. It features comprehensive search filters for stars, platforms, and licenses, providing token-efficient responses optimized for LLM comprehension.

MCP server for full-text search across PDF document collections with offline indexing, ranked results, snippets, and page rendering.

MCP server for Google Search using a logged-in browser profile, delivering personalized, ad-free results with advanced operators and pagination. It also fetches web pages as markdown through the same browser session.

MCP server for searching and retrieving stock images from Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay, with support for concurrent searches, normalized metadata, and image downloads.

Free multi-source search for AI agents with multi-source verification, token savings, and MCP native support.

Job search mechanics for an AI assistant: search Arbeitnow/Adzuna/JSearch, fetch a single job posting, render a CV to PDF, lint it against your own configurable anti-fabrication rules, and log the outcome to your application registry. Never auto-applies.
