edit_file

MCP tool from MCP Language Server by isaacphi

Allows making multiple text edits to a file based on line numbers. Provides a more reliable and context-economical way to edit files compared to search and replace based edit tools.

How to use it

Project documentation lists edit_file for the MCP Language Server 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.
