### Description (declared)

# mcp-win-stdio-explorer

Lightweight, token-safe **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** server for directory exploration, `.gitignore` resolution, in-file grep, RapidFuzz fuzzy search, and code symbol extraction.

Part of the **`mcp-win-stdio`** Windows-optimized suite.

---

## 🚀 Features (14 Tools)

- **Token-Safe Directory Navigation**: Depth-controlled tree (`get_directory_tree`) that automatically collapses heavy build directories (`node_modules`, `.next`, `dist`, `.git`) to protect LLM context windows.
- **Git-Wildmatch Pattern Engine**: Respects workspace `.gitignore` rules with high-performance `pathspec` matching.
- **Fast Content Search (Grep)**: Regex and plain-text search across file contents with surrounding context lines.
- **Typo-Tolerant Search & Dedup**: RapidFuzz fuzzy search to locate files even with incomplete names, plus duplicate file hash detection (`find_duplicate_files`).
- **Code Symbol Outlines & Navigation**: Symbol extractor (`get_code_outline`), workspace symbol locator (`find_symbol`), and codebase metrics (`get_code_stats`) from Python (AST) and JS/TS without loading entire files into memory.

## 🛠️ Included Tools (14 Tools)

1. `list_dir`: Detailed listing (PowerShell Get-ChildItem style) with file sizes, counts, and heavy folder indicators.
2. `get_directory_tree`: Depth-controlled tree with automatic heavy folder collapsing.
3. `find_files`: Advanced glob search honoring `.gitignore` and build caches.
4. `fuzzy_find`: RapidFuzz typo-tolerant file search.
5. `grep_search`: Fast text and regex search inside file contents with context lines.
6. `read_file`: Windowed file reader with line numbers and binary file safeguard.
7. `read_head_tail`: Quick top N (head) or bottom N (tail) line peek for logs and large files.
8. `get_code_outline`: Symbol extractor for Python AST and JavaScript/TypeScript symbols.
9. `get_file_info`: File metadata, line counts, line endings (CRLF vs LF), and hashes.
10. `workspace_summary`: Folder disk usage,…
