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

Search local file contents recursively with keyword matching

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 AI agents to query OpenRouter model information including prices, ELO rankings, context, and perform comparisons.

Enables intelligent file searching in local directories using natural language queries. Supports searching by file type, filename patterns, and content across multiple formats including PDF, Word, Excel, and text files with AI-powered relevance scoring.

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

Enables ChatGPT/Codex to read, search, and edit files in a single allowed folder on Windows through OpenAI Secure MCP Tunnel.

Provides LLMs with full PostgreSQL database access, including tools for query execution, schema management, and data export. It also features a dedicated insights system for storing business memos and supports both local stdio and remote HTTP transport.

An MCP server for local testing that enables file management operations, requiring authentication via Microsoft identity platform credentials.

Enables AI agents to safely explore directories, read files, search content by pattern or filename, and edit files with checksum verification and dry-run preview within sandboxed filesystem access.

Educational MCP server for basic file operations (read/write) 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.

Enables comprehensive file operations including reading, writing, searching, and editing files with advanced features like regex-based replacements, line-specific modifications, and directory-wide search capabilities. Provides 8 robust tools for safe file manipulation with content verification and detailed error handling.

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

file operation

Enables AI models to perform file system operations (reading, creating, and listing files) on a local file system through a standardized Model Context Protocol interface.

An MCP server that provides a flexible lens into directory structures and files, enabling LLM clients to efficiently navigate and understand codebases with minimal noise. It offers secure, gitignore-aware file access with tools like directory listing, file reading, and grep-like search.

Enables moving artifacts from ChatGPT/Codex sandboxes to remote server storage via host-native file parameters, streaming large files without Base64 or model-context overhead.
