txtool-mcp 0.1.2

MCP server exposing txtool text processing tools for Claude and other agents

txtool-mcp

MCP server exposing txtool text processing capabilities as tools for Claude and other MCP-compatible agents.

Prerequisites

Install uv (if not already):

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

No separate install step needed — uvx fetches and runs txtool-mcp automatically.

Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "txtool": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["txtool-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Desktop — txtool tools will appear automatically.

Claude Code (CLI)

Option 1 — CLI command (recommended):

claude mcp add txtool -s user -- uvx txtool-mcp

Option 2 — Manual config:

Add to ~/.claude.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "txtool": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["txtool-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Restart Claude Code — txtool tools will appear automatically.

Other MCP-compatible tools (Kiro, etc.)

Refer to your tool's documentation for how to register MCP servers. Use uvx txtool-mcp as the server command.
