Installing Python

Make sure you have Python 3.6 or higher installed.

Launching MCP server

Open terminal and go to the project folder. Start the server with the

command:python file_finder.py

Setting up Cline in VSCode

Open the Cline settings file in VSCode

Windows:

%APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json

macOS:

~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Linux:

~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

Add MCP server configuration

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "file-finder-mcp": {
            "args": [],
            "command": "python",
            "autoApprove": [],
            "disabled": false
        }
    }
}

Note

In this example we use Python directly, so we specify the command python. If you have a different Python path, specify it.

Restart VSCode to load the updated settings.

Example Prompt for Testing

To test the MCP server, send a request from Cline to VSCode:

{
    "method": "find_files",
    "params": {
        "path_fragment": "example"
    }
}

This query searches for files that contain the word "example" in the path.
