Regex and text processing tools for AI agents via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Tools

Tool Description
regex_test Test a regex pattern against text. Returns all matches with indices, captured groups, and named groups.
regex_replace Find and replace using regex with support for capture group references ($1, $2, $&, $<name>).
regex_extract Extract all matches of a pattern from text as a structured array. Optionally return only a specific capture group.
regex_explain Parse a regex pattern and return a human-readable explanation of each component and flag.
text_transform Apply common text transformations: camelCase, snake_case, kebab-case, PascalCase, UPPER, lower, title case, reverse, trim, deduplicate lines, sort lines, remove blank lines, count words/chars/lines. Chain multiple transforms in one call.

Replace with capture groups

regex_replace({ pattern: "(\\w+)\\s(\\w+)", replacement: "$2 $1", text: "hello world" })
