"General search for files or 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.

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.

A local stdio MCP server for managing files on XServer via SFTP, enabling secure file operations, backups, and workspace management for XServer hosting.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

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

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.

Enables downloading real binary files from Egnyte and uploading large files with chunked support, complementing the official Egnyte MCP connector.

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

Enables MCP clients to replace hardcoded text in source files with i18n resource keys, with support for previewing changes, profiles, resource sets, and machine translation.

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
