hledit MCP

Overview

hledit MCP is a Model Context Protocol server that enables hash-anchored file edits for MCP clients. It rejects stale writes before they happen, ensuring safe and conflict-free editing. By exposing its capabilities through MCP, AI assistants can use hledit MCP as callable tools, eliminating the need to manually copy and paste between applications.

The server runs locally via the npm package hledit-mcp, communicating over stdio on your machine. Installation is straightforward using npx -y hledit-mcp, with no authentication required. The latest release is v0.1.4, published under the MIT license with source code available at dabito/hledit-mcp on GitHub.

hledit MCP is listed in the AI & Agents category on mcp.site and works with all major MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Zed. If you maintain this project, you can claim this listing to verify ownership and keep information up to date.
