A MCP server for searching files in the filesystem based on a path fragment.
A MCP server for searching files in the filesystem based on a path fragment. Exposed over MCP by the file finder mcp mcp server, that capability becomes something an assistant can invoke while it works, not something you go and do afterwards.
Setup follows the usual MCP pattern — install or clone the server, register it in your client's configuration file, restart the client. The configuration blocks on this page cover the common clients.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
search-files — Searches for files matching a given path fragmentResources — The Resources tool exposed by this serverTools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverPlenty of file and storage access servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. File Finder MCP's toolset — search-files, Resources, Tools — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by StepanCooleague; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
