MCP Diff Editor by samihalawa - MCP Server

The MCP Diff Editor is a robust tool designed to facilitate file modifications through a web interface, offering real-time diff previews. It allows users to apply changes using either a unified diff format or by replacing the entire file. The editor ensures data integrity by automatically creating backups before any modifications and provides the ability to restore from these backups if needed. Security is a priority, with controls in place to prevent unauthorized access to files. This tool is particularly useful for developers and system administrators who need to manage file changes efficiently and securely.
