SmallEdit
Streamlines file modifications by providing efficient, targeted editing capabilities using common command-line tools like `sed` and `awk`.
About
SmallEdit is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to optimize file editing workflows. Instead of performing inefficient full file replacements for minor changes, it offers specialized tools for targeted edits using stream editors like `sed` and `awk`. This approach saves computational resources by focusing only on what needs to change, reduces the risk of introducing errors, enables bulk operations across multiple files, and provides essential preview capabilities to ensure accuracy before applying modifications. It's ideal for tasks like fixing typos, updating version numbers, or changing configuration values.
