Install
npx -y -y @smithery/cliclaude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"tumf-mcp-text-editor": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"-y",
"@smithery/cli"
]
}
}
}Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.
What this does
tumf/mcp-text-editor exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into the local or remote filesystem without copy-pasting context every turn.
Common use cases
- •Read, search, and edit files across local or remote storage
- •Convert between file formats (markdown, PDF, docx, and similar)
- •Drive bulk renames, organization, or archival from a chat session
