File MCP provides file search, reading, editing and copying through a local stdio integration with read-before-edit checks.
The d-issy repository is a collection whose documented server is file-mcp. Its tool surface includes find, read, write, edit, grep, move and copy. The implementation combines pattern-based file discovery with line-range reading and targeted edits, which is useful for an assistant working within a project folder.
The nested file-mcp README supplies a GitHub-backed npx configuration pinned to a release. The client starts it over stdio and receives the available file tools.
The project describes prior-read requirements for edits and existing-file writes, along with overwrite and path checks for movement. Those checks help the server work from observed content. They do not remove the need to give the process an appropriate working directory and review changes in the repository.
Use a small project copy: find a known file, read a line range, apply one requested edit and inspect the resulting diff. Then test a search that should return no match. Keep backups and version control for the working files, especially when an agent receives write or move tools.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
