"How to search files on a local computer" matching MCP servers:

Lets AI agents see and control desktop applications through the accessibility layer, enabling clicking, typing, scrolling, dragging, and window/app management across macOS, Windows, and Linux entirely on the local machine.

Provides fully local, privacy-preserving semantic search over file names and paths via MCP, using BGE embeddings for fuzzy matching and supporting incremental updates, watch mode, and a loopback-only HTTP server.

Local-first Microsoft Outlook MCP server: a single Go binary that manages calendar events and mail through the Microsoft Graph API over stdio, with tokens stored in the OS keychain and no Entra ID app registration required. Exposes four aggregate tools (calendar, mail, account, system) dispatched by an operation verb, with multi-account support and read-only and mail-gating modes.

Use Tavily Search to search for news pages or images.

MCP server that provides web search via LLM API gateways with server-side search, returning cited answers and multi-provider fallback.

Connects AI tools to GitHub and local git repositories, enabling natural language management of issues, PRs, code analysis, and workflows.

Hybrid search over your local documents, with file and page citations. One binary, fully local.

A local AST and type-aware Go repository context indexer that uses CHA to map symbols, call graphs, dependencies, and architecture patterns. Built for AI coding agents that need to navigate and reason about large Go codebases without reading raw files.

Local ledger for development ports: leases a block of ports per project slot (one per working copy), renders env files, and resolves service names to URLs. No daemon, no listener.

All-in-one homelab management MCP server. Docker monitoring, volume backup/restore (with compose and env files), Wake-on-LAN, network scanning, and multi-server SSH management.

Finds and removes AI writing tells with a deterministic ruleset. Runs locally by default; an optional pass can call a model if you turn it on.

Mu is an MCP server and web app that provides agents and humans access to real-world services like news, web search, mail, markets, weather, video, places, images, files, calendar, and contacts. It offers a wide range of tools and can be self-hosted or used live at micro.mu.

Provides git-aware safe file operations, allowing AI agents to delete files while protecting git-tracked source code from accidental deletion.

An MCP server for semantic code search & navigation that helps AI agents work efficiently without burning through costly tokens. Instead of reading entire files, agents can search conceptually and jump directly to the specific functions, classes, and code chunks they need.

Enables AI agents to send HTML documents to a local viewer, where they are stored and displayed in a live web UI for browsing and searching.

A local MCP server that unifies email and calendar management across multiple providers, enabling AI agents to search, read, and write with explicit approval and local-first security.

Enables running local MCP servers on machines behind NAT and accessing their tools from anywhere through a single Streamable HTTP endpoint, without opening any inbound ports.

Enables reading and writing MS Excel files, including cell values, formulas, sheet creation, copying, formatting, and on Windows, live editing and screen captures.
