by tatn • Messaging & Collaboration

An MCP server that returns unified diffs between two input strings using Python's difflib, useful for showing textual changes and generating patch-like output.

Example Use Cases

1
Compute and present unified diffs between two text blobs (e.g., showing changes between document or code versions).
2
Integrate lightweight text-diff functionality into chatbots or automation pipelines (e.g., code-review assistants producing human-readable change summaries).
3
Machine-readable unified diff output for patching, storage, or version-control style workflows.

Description

This MCP server exposes a single tool, get-unified-diff, which takes two strings and returns their differences in Unified diff format using Python's standard library difflib. It's lightweight and designed to be integrated into agents, chat clients (e.g., Claude Desktop), or automation pipelines to display or process text changes. The server is easy to run locally (uv/uvx) and is suitable for version-control style comparisons, code-review assistants, and document-diffing tasks.
