Key features
- 01Measure text length and readability
- 02Transform text and extract common data
- 03Mask sensitive values
- 04Compare strings by character, word, or line
- 05Render templates and generate slugs

Advanced string manipulation tools for AI agents, served over the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
Tools
analyze_string
Analyze text to get detailed metrics:
- Character count (with and without spaces)
- Word, sentence, and paragraph counts
- Estimated reading time
- Flesch-Kincaid reading level score and grade
- Unique word count and most common words
- Longest word
transform_string
Transform text with various operations:
- remove_duplicate_lines - Remove duplicate lines from text
- remove_extra_whitespace - Collapse extra whitespace and blank lines
- extract_emails - Extract all email addresses from text
- extract_urls - Extract all URLs from text
- extract_phone_numbers - Extract phone numbers from text
- mask_sensitive_data - Mask emails, phone numbers, and credit card numbers
- truncate - Truncate text with ellipsis at word boundaries
- wrap_text - Wrap text at a specified column width
diff_strings
Compare two strings and see the differences:
- character mode - Character-by-character diff

render_template
Simple template engine:
- Replace
{{variables}}with values from a JSON data object - Conditionals:
{{#if var}}...{{#else}}...{{/if}} - Loops:
{{#each arr}}...{{this}}...{{@index}}...{{/each}} - Nested property access:
{{user.name}}

From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
