Everything Search

mamertofabian/mcp-everything-search

Bridges Claude to native file search engines across Windows, macOS, and Linux through a single search tool. On Windows it taps into Everything's SDK for instant filesystem queries, macOS uses mdfind with Spotlight, and Linux relies on locate/plocate. The search tool supports regex, case sensitivity, path matching, and multiple sort options including by size, date, and extension. You'll want this when you need Claude to find files quickly without crawling directories manually. Supports Everything's advanced syntax on Windows like "ext:py datemodified:today" for precise filtering. Setup requires the Everything service on Windows and updatedb on Linux, but works out of the box on macOS.
