The Everything MCP server integrates Everything's powerful file search engine with AI tooling through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This server allows developers to perform instant file searches across their systems, leveraging Everything's native SDK for efficient query handling, making it an essential tool for applications that require fast and reliable access to file data.

Once connected to the Everything MCP server, you can perform queries to search for files instantly. Use commands that involve keywords or specific file attributes, such as file names, types, or sizes, to get the best results. The server efficiently processes these queries, returning relevant results in real-time, making it ideal for applications that require quick access to file data. Currently, there are no additional tools documented for this server, but its core functionalities are robust for file searching.

To install the Everything MCP server, ensure you have Node.js installed on your machine. Follow these steps for installation:

1. Prerequisites: Make sure you have Node.js (version 12 or higher) installed. You can verify your installation by running:

   node -v
   

2. Option A: Quick start with npx (if npm package becomes available in the future):

   npx -y everything-mcp-server
   

3. Option B: Global install alternative: You can also install the server globally using npm:

   npm install -g everything-mcp-server
   

After installation, you can start the server with the command you choose.

When configuring the Everything MCP server, ensure that your Everything SDK is correctly set up to avoid connection issues. You may need to specify environment variables to point to your Everything installation or adjust permissions for file access. Additionally, keep an eye on the server logs for any potential errors during initial queries, as these can help identify configuration issues.
