shuck-file

Overview

shuck-file is a Model Context Protocol server that transforms any file into focused Markdown output, extracting only the essential information you need. Any MCP-compatible AI assistant can call shuck-file's tools directly, letting the model decide when to use them during conversations or agent runs.

It runs locally on your machine as a Python package installed via uvx shuck-file, communicating with MCP over stdio. No authentication is required—it works immediately out of the box. Version v2.0.4 is available under the MIT license, with source code at Shan-Zhu/shuck-file on GitHub.

shuck-file is categorized as Development on mcp.site and integrates with all MCP clients including Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Zed and others. If you maintain shuck-file, claim this listing to verify ownership and keep the information current.
