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

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

Search local file contents recursively with keyword matching

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

An MCP server that enables file system search and inspection, including directory listing, regex-based file name and content searches, and reading text, PDF, and DOCX files.

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.

Provides tools for searching and reading local files, supporting metadata filters, PDF full-text keyword search, and sandboxed file access.

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

Educational MCP server for basic file operations (read/write) via the Model Context Protocol.

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.

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

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.

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 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 Claude Desktop to download files from web URLs with automatic browser fallback for JavaScript-heavy sites. Supports smart redirect handling, custom file naming, and cross-platform compatibility.

A MCP server that allows searching for files in the filesystem based on path fragments, returning file metadata including name, path, size, and creation date.
