MCP File Finder provides an MCP server that searches for files by fragments of their paths. It helps you locate files quickly across your project or filesystem-like trees by querying partial path strings and receiving structured results.

How to use

You run the MCP File Finder server and query it from your MCP client to locate files whose paths contain a specific fragment. Provide the fragment you’re looking for, and the server returns matching files with their names, full paths, sizes, and creation timestamps. Use this to quickly discover where certain files live and verify their locations.

Available tools

find

Search for files whose paths contain a given fragment and return a list of results with each file's name, path, size, and created_at timestamp.
