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" })
Extract matches
regex_extract({ pattern: "[\\w.]+@[\\w.]+", text: "Contact us at info@example.com or support@example.com" })
