## Description

This MCP server provides file editing capabilities through Microsoft Edit integration, implementing a hybrid architecture that combines direct file system operations for simple tasks with Microsoft Edit process management for complex editing scenarios. Built with TypeScript and featuring both stdio and HTTP transport modes, it offers tools for reading, writing, and listing files, finding text patterns, formatting code, performing complex find-and-replace operations, and managing interactive editing sessions across multiple files. The implementation includes an intelligent operation router that analyzes file complexity and operation requirements to determine whether to use direct file system access or spawn Edit instances, along with comprehensive HTTP REST API endpoints, authentication support, rate limiting, and Docker-friendly configuration, making it valuable for AI-assisted code editing workflows, automated refactoring tasks, and any use case requiring sophisticated file manipulation with the power of Microsoft Edit's advanced text processing capabilities.
