# Everything Search MCP Server
[](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-server-everything-search)
An MCP server that provides fast file searching capabilities across Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Windows, it uses the [Everything](https://www.voidtools.com/) SDK. On macOS, it uses the built-in `mdfind` command. On Linux, it uses the `locate`/`plocate` command.
## Tools
### search
Search for files and folders across your system. The search capabilities and syntax support vary by platform:
- Windows: Full Everything SDK features (see syntax guide below)
- macOS: Basic filename and content search using Spotlight database
- Linux: Basic filename search using locate database
Parameters:
- `query` (required): Search query string. See platform-specific notes below.
- `max_results` (optional): Maximum number of results to return (default: 100, max: 1000)
- `match_path` (optional): Match against full path instead of filename only (default: false)
- `match_case` (optional): Enable case-sensitive search (default: false)
- `match_whole_word` (optional): Match whole words only (default: false)
- `match_regex` (optional): Enable regex search (default: false)
- `sort_by` (optional): Sort order for results (default: 1). Available options:
```
- 1: Sort by filename (A to Z)
- 2: Sort by filename (Z to A)
- 3: Sort by path (A to Z)
- 4: Sort by path (Z to A)
- 5: Sort by size (smallest first)
- 6: Sort by size (largest first)
- 7: Sort by extension (A to Z)
- 8: Sort by extension (Z to A)
- 11: Sort by creation date (oldest first)
- 12: Sort by creation date (newest first)
- 13: Sort by modification date (oldest first)
- 14: Sort by modification date (newest first)
```
Examples:
```json
{
"query": "*.py",
"max_results": 50,
"sort_by": 6
}
```
```json
{
"query": "ext:py datemodified:today",
"max_results": 10
}
```
Response includes:
- File/folder path
- File size in bytes
- Last modified date
### Search Syntax Guide
For detailed information about the search syntax supported on each platform (Windows, macOS, and Linux), please see [SEARCH_SYNTAX.md](SEARCH_SYNTAX.md).
## Prerequisites
### Windows
1. [Everything](https://www.voidtools.com/) search utility:
- Download and install from https://www.voidtools.com/
- **Make sure the Everything service is running**
2. Everything SDK:
- Download from https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/sdk/
- Extract the SDK files to a location on your system
### Linux
1. Install and initialize the `locate` or `plocate` command:
- Ubuntu/Debian: `sudo apt-get install plocate` or `sudo apt-get install mlocate`
- Fedora: `sudo dnf install mlocate`
2. After installation, update the database:
- For plocate: `sudo updatedb`
- For mlocate: `sudo /etc/cron.daily/mlocate`
### macOS
No additional setup required. The server uses the built-in `mdfind` command.
## Installation
### Installing via Smithery
To install Everything Search for Claude Desktop automatically via [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/mcp-server-everything-search):
```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-server-everything-search --client claude
```
### Using uv (recommended)
When using [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) no specific installation is needed. We will
use [`uvx`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/guides/tools/) to directly run _mcp-server-everything-search_.
### Using PIP
Alternatively you can install `mcp-server-everything-search` via pip:
```
pip install mcp-server-everything-search
```
After installation, you can run it as a script using:
```
python -m mcp_server_everything_search
```
## Configuration
### Windows
The server requires the Everything SDK DLL to be available:
Environment variable:
```
EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH=path\to\Everything-SDK\dll\Everything64.dll
```
### Linux and macOS
No additional configuration required.
### Usage with Claude Desktop
Add one of these configurations to your `claude_desktop_config.json` based on your platform:
<details>
<summary>Windows (using uvx)</summary>
```json
"mcpServers": {
"everything-search": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-everything-search"],
"env": {
"EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH": "path/to/Everything-SDK/dll/Everything64.dll"
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Windows (using pip installation)</summary>
```json
"mcpServers": {
"everything-search": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_everything_search"],
"env": {
"EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH": "path/to/Everything-SDK/dll/Everything64.dll"
}
}
}
```
</details>
<details>
<summary>Linux and macOS</summary>
```json
"mcpServers": {
"everything-search": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-everything-search"]
}
}
```
Or if using pip installation:
```json
"mcpServers": {
"everything-search": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["-m", "mcp_server_everything_search"]
}
}
```
</details>
## Debugging
You can use the MCP inspector to debug the server. For uvx installations:
```
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uvx mcp-server-everything-search
```
Or if you've installed the package in a specific directory or are developing on it:
```
git clone https://github.com/mamertofabian/mcp-everything-search.git
cd mcp-everything-search/src/mcp_server_everything_search
npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector uv run mcp-server-everything-search
```
To view server logs:
Linux/macOS:
```bash
tail -f ~/.config/Claude/logs/mcp*.log
```
Windows (PowerShell):
```powershell
Get-Content -Path "$env:APPDATA\Claude\logs\mcp*.log" -Tail 20 -Wait
```
## Development
If you are doing local development, there are two ways to test your changes:
1. Run the MCP inspector to test your changes. See [Debugging](#debugging) for run instructions.
2. Test using the Claude desktop app. Add the following to your `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
"everything-search": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/path/to/mcp-everything-search/src/mcp_server_everything_search",
"run",
"mcp-server-everything-search"
],
"env": {
"EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH": "path/to/Everything-SDK/dll/Everything64.dll"
}
}
```
