MCP Simple TextEdit

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Make safe, content-verified edits to source files or configs using pattern matching (e.g., replace a constant only if the exact expected content is present).

• 2

  Insert or append code or imports in a codebase in a context-aware way using after_pattern or start/end pattern blocks.

• 3

  Perform automated cleanups or block deletions with verification and logging while ensuring edits stay inside a specified base directory.

Description

This server exposes content-aware file editing operations (insert, replace, delete, append) driven by start/end/after patterns and optional content verification. It enforces security by restricting access to a configurable base directory, validating paths and permissions, and logging file operations. UTF-8 encoding and regex-friendly pattern matching make it suitable for automated, context-aware edits that are more robust than line-number based edits.
