Sublime Text MCP
Runs a Python MCP server outside Sublime Text that talks to an HTTP bridge plugin inside the editor, giving Claude direct control over your ST4 instance. You get 59 tools covering the full API surface: read file content and selections, navigate to lines, edit via str_replace or insert operations, search across projects, run builds, manage layouts, and even send commands to Terminus terminal tabs. The architecture keeps ST responsive by running the MCP protocol over stdio to a separate process that forwards requests via localhost HTTP. Useful when you want Claude to perform multi-step refactoring, navigate large codebases, or orchestrate edits across multiple open files without leaving your existing ST workflow.
