MCP Personal

Four small servers for finding things on your own machine: files, text inside files, PDFs, and SQLite.

LABSCO SUMMARY

Two search servers, and the difference matters.

The file-search server finds files by name; the fuzzy-search server looks inside them. Pointing an assistant at the wrong one produces confident empty results. The SQLite server ships read-only by default, which is the right way round — turn writes on per registration rather than globally, and keep a separate read-only entry for exploration.

What it is

A set of four independent MCP servers you register separately: a file-name searcher built on fd and fzf, a content searcher built on ripgrep and fzf, a SQLite client that is read-only unless you say otherwise, and a Python port of the sequential-thinking server.

What you get

  • File names, fast — search_files takes a regex or glob and a limit, filter_files applies a fuzzy filter to the result
  • Text inside files — fuzzy_search_files matches paths, fuzzy_search_content matches path and content together, with no regex to get wrong
  • Documents — fuzzy_search_documents reaches into PDFs, Office files and archives, and extract_pdf_pages pulls specific pages back out
  • PDF structure — get_pdf_page_labels, get_pdf_page_count and get_pdf_outline answer 'what is in this file' before you read it
  • SQLite — query, execute, list_tables, describe_table and create_table, with write operations disabled unless explicitly enabled and :memory: supported for scratch work
  • sequentialthinking for step-by-step reasoning with revisions (isRevision, revisesThought) and branches (branchFromThought, branchId)
  • Every server also runs as a standalone CLI, so you can check a query outside the assistant

Requirements

Python 3.10 or higher. Published as mcp-personal version 0.1.0; the documented path is to clone the repo and point your client at the individual scripts — mcp_fd_server.py, mcp_fuzzy_search.py, mcp_sqlite_server.py, mcp_sequential_thinking.py. The search servers need external binaries: fd and fzf for file search, ripgrep and fzf for content search; PDF and Office search additionally wants ripgrep-all, PyMuPDF and pandoc. On Debian and Ubuntu fd installs as fdfind. Register with -s user if you want the servers available across all projects rather than just the current directory. DISABLE_THOUGHT_LOGGING=true silences the thinking server's stderr output.
