This is an MCP server that gets the difference between two texts.
Connect MCP to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. This is an MCP server that gets the difference between two texts. The mcp mcp server is what makes that connection.
An MCP server for obtaining text differences between two strings. This server leverages Python's standard library difflib to efficiently generate and provide differences between two texts in Unified diff format, making it ideal for text comparison and version control purposes.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
get-unified-diff — Get differences between two texts in Unified diff formatArguments — - string_a: Source text for comparison (required)string_b — Target text to compare against (required)Tools — The Tools tool exposed by this serverDebugging — You can start the MCP Inspector using npxwith the following commands:Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @modelcontextprotocol/inspector on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. MCP's toolset — get-unified-diff, Arguments, string_b and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by tatn; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
