Baloosearch
Enables AI assistants to quickly search for locally indexed files using KDE's baloosearch utility, facilitating semantic search across personal file systems.
About
This Model Context Protocol (MCP) server acts as a bridge, allowing AI assistants to perform sophisticated semantic searches across a user's local filesystem. By leveraging KDE's powerful baloosearch utility, it provides an MCP-compliant interface capable of querying files based on content, various properties (such as Artist, Author, or rating), specific file types, and advanced query syntax including AND, OR, wildcards, and phrase matching. Designed for seamless integration, it enables AI clients like Claude Desktop to expand their capabilities by interacting directly and intelligently with local data, enhancing productivity and document retrieval.
