What it does

An MCP server for editing text files by line range. The assistant reads and changes only the lines it needs instead of loading whole files, which keeps token use down. It includes conflict detection so edits do not overwrite changes made elsewhere.

Use cases

  1. 01Change a few lines in a long config file
  2. 02Update one section of a text document
  3. 03Apply edits while others may touch the file
