What is this MCP

This is a FastMCP-based text editor server designed specifically for AI-assisted code editing. It provides a structured API for reading, editing, and managing text files with a focus on maintaining code integrity and context for LLMs.

How to use this MCP

The MCP is installed via UVX or pip and runs as a server. AI assistants interact with it through a multi-step workflow: set_file → skim/read → select → overwrite → confirm/cancel. Environment variables configure security and syntax checking options.

What this MCP can be used for

This MCP enables reliable AI-assisted code editing by preventing common LLM pitfalls like context loss and full-file rewrites. It's ideal for codebase maintenance, refactoring, and development tasks where precise, verifiable edits are required.
