File Find MCP Server

What is File Find Mcp?

File Find Mcp is a specialized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for fast file search within a filesystem, built with Rust and powered by ripgrep. It provides high‑performance keyword search and file content reading, and is compatible with AI assistants and other systems that support the MCP protocol.

How to use File Find Mcp?

Clone the repository, install Rust and optionally ripgrep, then build with cargo build --release. Add the binary path to your MCP settings (e.g., in Cursor or Claude) using the JSON configuration shown in the README. Once configured, invoke the search tool with a directory and keyword, or the file_content_reader tool with a file path.

Key features of File Find Mcp

• High‑performance search using ripgrep for extremely fast results
• File content reader that reads and displays text file contents
• Smart file detection that automatically skips binary files
• MCP integration works with AI assistants and protocol‑compatible systems
• Fallback mechanism uses pure Rust when ripgrep is not available

Use cases of File Find Mcp

• Quickly find code containing a specific keyword in a large project directory
• Read the contents of a file without leaving an AI assistant chat interface
• Automate file searches across structured directories in development workflows
• Integrate file search capabilities directly into MCP‑compatible tools like Cursor or Claude
