Everything Search MCP Server

Local setup required. This server has to be cloned and prepared on your machine before you register it in Claude Code.
1

Set the server up locally

Run this once to clone and prepare the server before adding it to Claude Code.

Run in terminal
git clone https://github.com/guodaxia9527/mcp-everything-search
cd mcp-everything-search

Then follow the repository README for any remaining dependency or build steps before continuing.

2

Register it in Claude Code

After the local setup is done, run this command to point Claude Code at the built server.

Run in terminal
claude mcp add everything-search -- node "<FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_EVERYTHING_SEARCH>/dist/index.js"

Replace <FULL_PATH_TO_MCP_EVERYTHING_SEARCH>/dist/index.js with the actual folder you prepared in step 1.

中文版 | English Version


🇨🇳 中文版

一款专为 Windows 打造的高性能 Model Context Protocol (MCP) 服务器。本工具利用原生的 Everything SDK,为 AI 模型(如 Claude、GPT、Gemini)提供毫秒级的文件搜索、统计分析及磁盘空间洞察能力。

🚀 核心特性

  • 极致速度:基于 Everything64.dll 原生调用,数百万个文件搜索仅需毫秒级响应。
  • AI 意图自动引导 (Autopilot):内置运行时意图拦截与专用工具(如 find_largest_folders),防止 AI 模型在处理大数据量任务时陷入低效的递归扫描。
  • 智能环境诊断:主动检测磁盘索引状态,并在驱动器未索引时提供精确的修复引导。
  • 完美支持中文:原生解决 Windows 环境下的中文乱码问题,确保路径处理 100% 准确。
  • 多客户端适配:安装程序支持自动配置 OpenCodeClaude Desktop

🛠 包含工具

🇺🇸 English Version

A high-performance Model Context Protocol (MCP) server built for Windows. Leveraging the native Everything SDK, it provides AI models (like Claude, GPT, Gemini) with millisecond-speed file searching, statistical analysis, and disk usage insights.

🚀 Key Features

  • Ultra-Fast Search: Powered by Everything64.dll, searching millions of files in milliseconds.
  • AI-Intent Autopilot: Features runtime intent interception and specialized tools (e.g., find_largest_folders) to prevent AI models from falling into inefficient recursive scans.
  • Smart Diagnostics: Proactively monitors indexing status and provides actionable hints for unindexed drives.
  • Full Unicode Support: Native resolution for Chinese characters and special symbols on Windows.
  • Multi-Client Support: The installer automatically configures OpenCode and Claude Desktop.

🛠 Tools Available

  • everything_search: Lightning-fast metadata search.
  • everything_stats: Statistical analysis of file distribution.
  • find_largest_folders: Dedicated tool for disk usage analysis.
  • find_most_files: Locate directories with the highest file counts.
  • get_engine_status: Check indexing status and drive coverage.

📦 Installation (Windows Only)

  1. Download mcp-everything-search.zip from Releases.
  2. Extract to a permanent local directory.
  3. Run install.exe. It will automatically configure OpenCode and Claude Desktop.
  4. Restart your AI client.
