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

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

Enables blazingly fast file and content searching in large codebases using ripgrep, with intelligent filtering, fuzzy finding, and directory tree visualization while respecting .gitignore and avoiding common bloat directories.

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.

A sophisticated MCP server providing powerful file search capabilities including single file search, recursive directory search, and file information retrieval.

A Model Context Protocol server that provides web search capabilities using Google Custom Search API and webpage content extraction functionality.

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

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

Enables AI agents to explore, analyze, and search file systems, with tools for directory trees, file statistics, duplicate detection, code counting, and multi-criteria file search.

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 powerful MCP tool for parsing and manipulating MIDI files that allows users to read, analyze, and modify MIDI files through natural language commands, supporting operations like reading file information, modifying tracks, adding notes, and setting tempo.

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.

MCP server that gives Claude Desktop and other desktop MCP clients filesystem powers—read, write, edit, and manage files like AI coding assistants.

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 MCP-assisted processing of Access database tables, HTML5 advertising ZIP image assets, layered PDFs, and ONIX book-update requests through RapidAPI. It saves results in a selected workspace folder while requiring explicit consent for each processing call.

MCP server for file operations with non-UTF-8/Unicode encoding: Cyrillic, CP1251, CP1252, ISO-8859, KOI8 auto-detection

Reduces Claude's context window costs by automatically summarizing inactive files to their public interfaces using AST parsing, keeping only the full contents of the currently active file.

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

An MCP server that exposes macOS Spotlight search as tools, wrapping mdfind and mdls to provide full-text and metadata file search across the system.

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

Enables intelligent handling of large files through smart chunking, search with regex support, line navigation, and streaming capabilities without loading entire files into memory.

Enables local AI agents to prepare, send, and check the status of user-specified files to a preconfigured QQ recipient through SnowLuma, using checksum-verified copies and persistent delivery records.

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.

A powerful, security-hardened MCP server for intelligent file organization. Provides high-level atomic tools for organizing files into categories, detecting duplicates, extracting EXIF/ID3 metadata, scheduling automatic organization, and more — for use with Claude, Cursor, and Gemini CLI.

A Model Context Protocol server for secure, sandboxed file operations and project scaffolding with built-in search and regex capabilities. It is optimized for Windows environments and features configurable access controls to restrict operations to specific directories.

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.

Local-first MCP server that transforms civil case PDFs into queryable cases with structural provenance, evidence IDs, and page-level verification for drafting and factual review.
