edit_replace

MCP tool from Aptu Coder by clouatre-labs

Replace a unique exact text block or all non-overlapping occurrences (replaceall=true); errors if zero or multiple matches; empty newtext deletes the block; CRLF normalized before matching; optional expectedcontenthash (blake3 hex of raw bytes) rejects stale edits; concurrent edits to the same file

How to use it

Project documentation lists edit_replace for the Aptu Coder MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
