MCP File Tools

Solves the legacy encoding problem that breaks most AI file operations. Exposes 21 tools including read_text_file, write_file, edit_file, and grep_text_files, all with automatic detection and conversion across 22 encodings: Windows-125x, ISO-8859, KOI8-R, CP866, and UTF variants with BOM handling. Built in Go, runs as a stdio transport with directory-based access control. You'll want this when working with Delphi projects, old VB6 codebases, or any PHP/HTML sites that predate UTF-8. Instead of seeing corrupted Cyrillic or Western European characters, Claude reads the actual text. Also includes tree views, regex search, line ending conversion, and encoding detection with confidence scores.
