This MCP server provides fast file searching across Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Windows, it leverages the Everything SDK; on macOS, the mdfind command; and on Linux, the locate/plocate command.
Tools:
The search tool allows searching for files and folders. It requires a query parameter and supports optional parameters like max_results, match_path, match_case, match_whole_word, match_regex, and sort_by. Search syntax varies by platform, with Windows offering full Everything SDK features.
Prerequisites:
Windows requires the Everything search utility and SDK. Linux requires locate or plocate to be installed and the database updated. macOS requires no additional setup.
Installation:
Installation can be done via Smithery, uv, or pip. Configuration involves setting the EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH environment variable on Windows. It can be used with Claude Desktop by adding a configuration to claude_desktop_config.json.
