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 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 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.
