Update README.md - Add Everything Search to community highlights

[mamertofabian]

Description

Adding a cross-platform file search MCP server that leverages native search capabilities on each supported OS: Everything SDK (Windows), Spotlight (macOS), and locate/plocate (Linux). On Windows, it integrates with voidtools Everything for fast file indexing and search. Available in PyPi.

Server Details

• Server: everything-search (new community server)

Motivation and Context

This server provides fast file search capabilities across multiple operating systems, utilizing the best native search tools for each platform. Enabling LLMs to interact with local file search functions directly empowers users to better organize and manage their file systems through natural language interactions.

This integration allows LLMs to assist users with tasks like file organization, duplicate detection, and content discovery through natural conversation, making file system management more intuitive and efficient.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested with Claude Desktop and Cline clients across different platforms:

• Windows:
  • Everything SDK features including path and file type filtering
  • Complex search patterns
• macOS:
  • Filename and content search via Spotlight
  • Basic pattern matching
• Linux:
  • Basic filename search using locate database
  • Pattern matching with plocate

Tested locally, TestPyPi, and PyPi releases via npx.
