Description

This MCP server detects various text encodings including UTF-8, UTF-16 LE/BE, and mixed encodings, then converts them to clean UTF-8 format. It can run as a standalone CLI tool or as an MCP stdio server, preserving original file permissions and optionally creating backups. The tool reports unpaired surrogates and provides structured JSON output for automation, making it useful for maintaining text file encoding integrity.
