Everything MCP
基于 Voidtools Everything 的极速文件搜索 MCP 服务器 Ultra-lightweight MCP server for Voidtools Everything search engine
📖 简介 | Introduction
Everything MCP 是一个极轻量的 MCP (Model Context Protocol) 服务器,将 Voidtools Everything 的极速文件搜索能力暴露给 AI 代理(Claude Code、Codex、DeepSeek Harness 等)。
通过调用 Everything.exe -create-file-list 导出搜索结果并解析 EFU 格式,实现毫秒级文件检索。
English: Everything MCP is an ultra-lightweight MCP server that exposes Voidtools Everything's blazing-fast file search to AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness, etc.). It uses Everything.exe -create-file-list to export search results and parses the EFU format.
✨ 特性 | Features
- ⚡ 极速搜索 — 基于 Everything 的 NTFS 索引,毫秒级检索百万文件
- 🪶 极致轻量 — 单文件 5KB,零冗余代码,秒级启动
- 🔧 零配置集成 — 自动适配 Claude Code、Codex、DSH
- 🎯 智能触发 — 配置 CLAUDE.md 让 AI 自动识别何时调用
- 🪟 原生 Windows — 完美适配 Windows NTFS 文件系统
English:
- ⚡ Blazing fast — Leverages Everything's NTFS index for millisecond search across millions of files
- 🪶 Ultra lightweight — Single 5KB file, zero bloat, instant startup
- 🔧 Zero-config integration — Auto-adapts to Claude Code, Codex, DSH
- 🎯 Smart triggering — CLAUDE.md configures AI to auto-select when to search
- 🪟 Native Windows — Perfectly optimized for Windows NTFS
📋 前提条件 | Prerequisites
- Windows 操作系统 (需要 NTFS 文件系统)
- Everything v1.4+ 已安装并以管理员权限运行
- Node.js v18+(测试环境 v24)
- npm(用于安装依赖)
💡 Everything 需要管理员权限以读取 NTFS 索引。可在 Everything → 工具 → 选项 → 常规中勾选"以管理员身份运行",或安装 Everything 服务。
English:
- Windows OS (requires NTFS filesystem)
- Everything v1.4+ installed and running as administrator
- Node.js v18+ (tested with v24)
- npm (for dependency installation)
💡 Everything needs admin privileges to read the NTFS index. Check "Run as administrator" in Everything → Tools → Options → General, or install the Everything service.

🔌 配置 | Configuration
Claude Code (全局 | Global)
自动配置已在 ~/.claude/settings.json 中添加。手动配置:
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/Users/hulk cheng/Desktop/公司/everything-mcp-server/src/index.js"],
"disabled": false,
"autoApprove": []
}
}
}
Codex CLI
项目级配置在 .codex/config.json 中,或手动添加:
{
"mcpServers": {
"everything": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["C:/Users/hulk cheng/Desktop/公司/everything-mcp-server/src/index.js"]
}
}
}
DeepSeek Harness (DSH)
在 DSH 的插件配置中添加:
plugins:
mcp-client:
servers:
everything:
transport: stdio
command: node
args:
- "C:/Users/hulk cheng/Desktop/公司/everything-mcp-server/src/index.js"
cwd: "C:/Users/hulk cheng/Desktop/公司/everything-mcp-server"
🛠️ 工具 | Tools

❓ 故障排除 | Troubleshooting
搜索返回 0 条结果
- 确保 Everything 正在运行(系统托盘中有图标)
- 确保 Everything 以管理员权限运行
- 或安装 Everything 服务:Everything → 工具 → 选项 → 常规 → 安装服务
- 首次使用时调
everything_health检查状态
服务启动失败
- 检查
C:\\Program Files\\Everything\\Everything.exe是否存在 - 确保 Node.js 版本 >= 18
- 重新运行
npm install
English:
Search returns 0 results
- Make sure Everything is running (check system tray)
- Run Everything as administrator
- Or install the Everything service: Everything → Tools → Options → General → Install Service
- Call
everything_healthfirst to check status
Server fails to start
- Verify
C:\\Program Files\\Everything\\Everything.exeexists - Ensure Node.js >= 18
- Re-run
npm install
