Mcp Text Editor
A line-oriented text file editor. Optimized for LLM tools with efficient partial file access to minimize token usage.
Install Mcp Text Editor
Install instructions vary — visit the GitHub repository for the latest install command. Most MCP servers follow one of three patterns: npx -y <package> for Node, uvx <package> for Python, or docker run <image> for containerized servers.
Use Mcp Text Editor with Claude Code
Once the server is on your machine, register it with Claude Code so the agent can call it like any other tool. The general pattern is:
claude mcp add tumf-mcp-text-editor -- <install-command>After it's registered, run claude and ask anything that requires Mcp Text Editor. Claude Code will negotiate the MCP handshake and surface the server's tools, prompts, and resources to the model automatically. See our Claude Code MCP guide for environment variables, scope flags, and credential handling.

FAQ
Is Mcp Text Editor free?
Yes — every MCP server in the ClawHire directory is open-source or freely available. Some servers proxy to paid APIs (you supply your own keys), but the server itself is free.
Does it work with Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf?
If a client speaks the Model Context Protocol, it can use this server. The transport (stdio vs SSE vs HTTP) needs to match what the client supports, but the server itself is client-agnostic.
How do I report a bug or contribute?
