Provides fast file searching across Windows, macOS, and Linux using native OS tools. Read-only access, but platform-specific setup is required.
This server is generally safe for file searching, but users should be mindful of the search queries they use to avoid unintentional information exposure. The risk is elevated on Windows due to the external Everything SDK dependency.
Performance depends heavily on the speed and configuration of the underlying OS indexing service. Large file systems may require more time to index and search.
This server primarily uses local resources, so cost is minimal. However, frequent or complex searches could consume CPU and disk I/O.
npx -y @smithery/cli install mcp-server-everything-search --client claudeEVERYTHING_SDK_PATHsearchSearches for files and folders based on a query string.
Read-only operation; no modification of files or system settings.

This server is generally safe for file searching, but users should be mindful of the search queries they use to avoid unintentional information exposure. The risk is elevated on Windows due to the external Everything SDK dependency.
This server only supports read operations, so autonomy is limited to the scope of file searching. No file system modifications are possible.
Production Tip
Ensure the underlying OS indexing service (Everything, mdfind, locate) is properly configured and up-to-date for optimal performance.
The search syntax varies by platform. Windows supports the full Everything SDK syntax, while macOS and Linux support basic filename and content search.
Ensure the underlying OS indexing service (Everything, mdfind, locate) is properly configured and up-to-date.
Yes, macOS supports content search using Spotlight. Windows and Linux primarily focus on filename search, but Everything can index content as well.
You need to install the Everything search utility and the Everything SDK, and ensure the Everything service is running.
Use `sudo updatedb` for plocate or `sudo /etc/cron.daily/mlocate` for mlocate.
The server is read-only and relies on OS-level search tools, reducing the risk of malicious activity. However, be mindful of search queries to avoid unintentional information exposure.
Yes, the `match_regex` option enables regex search, but use it carefully to avoid performance issues or unexpected results.
