Largefile
Empowers AI assistants to navigate, search, and edit files of any size, bypassing LLM context window limitations.
About
Largefile is a local MCP server designed to overcome the context window limitations of Large Language Models (LLMs) when processing extensive files. It enables AI assistants to interact with extremely large codebases, log files, documentation, and datasets by providing targeted access to specific content without loading the entire file into memory. Through core tools for overview generation, content searching, precise reading, and robust search/replace editing, Largefile ensures efficient and error-resistant file manipulation for AI-driven workflows.
