### Description (declared)

# Editor MCP

A Python-based text editor server built with FastMCP that provides powerful tools for file operations. This server enables reading, editing, and managing text files through a standardized API with a unique multi-step approach that significantly improves code editing accuracy and reliability for LLMs and AI assistants.

## Features

- **File Selection**: Set a file to work with using absolute paths
- **Read Operations**:
  - Read entire files with line numbers using `skim`
  - Read specific line ranges with prefixed line numbers using `read`
  - Find specific text within files using `find_line`
  - Find and extract function definitions in Python and JavaScript/JSX files using `find_function`
- **Edit Operations**:
  - Two-step editing process with diff preview
  - Select and overwrite text with ID verification
  - Clean editing workflow with select → overwrite → confirm/cancel pattern
  - Syntax checking for Python (.py) and JavaScript/React (.js, .jsx) files
  - Create new files with content
- **File Management**:
  - Create new files with proper initialization
  - Delete files from the filesystem
  - List directory contents with `listdir`
- **Testing Support**:
  - Run Python tests with `run_tests`
  - Set Python paths for proper module resolution
- **Safety Features**:
  - Content ID verification to prevent conflicts
  - Line count limits to prevent resource exhaustion
  - Syntax checking to maintain code integrity
  - Protected paths to restrict access to sensitive files

## Security Risks

The editor-mcp includes powerful capabilities that come with certain security considerations:

- **Jailbreak Risk**: The editor-mcp can potentially be jailbroken when reading a file that has harmful instructions embedded inside. Malicious content in files being edited could contain instructions that manipulate the AI assistant.
- **Arbitrary Code Execut…
