MCP File Merger: Stop Manually Combining Files

You're dealing with scattered config files that need to be consolidated for deployment. Or you've got log fragments across multiple services that need to be analyzed together. Maybe you're preparing multiple source files for AI code review. Right now, you're probably doing this manually with cat commands or copy-paste operations.

There's a better way.

The Problem: File Concatenation is Tedious and Error-Prone

Every time you need to combine files, you're writing shell scripts, remembering the right order, dealing with separators, and manually tracking what went where. It's time-consuming, especially when you need to do it repeatedly or across different projects.

Simple Solution: Secure File Merging Through MCP

This MCP server gives Claude (or any MCP-compatible AI) the ability to merge multiple files intelligently. It handles the heavy lifting while you focus on the bigger picture.

Key capabilities:

• Secure by design - Only accesses directories you explicitly allow
• Detailed reporting - Shows file sizes and merge summary
• Any file type - Text, binary, config files, logs, source code
• Intelligent merging - Preserves structure and handles large files efficiently

Real-World Use Cases

Configuration Management

Input: database.yml, redis.yml, app.yml
Output: Complete deployment.yml ready for Kubernetes

Log Analysis Combine service logs from multiple instances for pattern analysis or debugging sessions. No more jumping between terminal tabs.

Documentation Assembly Merge README fragments, API docs, and changelog entries into comprehensive documentation that actually stays updated.

Code Review Preparation Bundle related source files for AI analysis. Get architectural insights across your entire feature implementation, not just individual files.

Build Artifact Creation Combine multiple source files into single deployable units. Perfect for creating consolidated scripts or configuration bundles.

Integration is Straightforward

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "file-merger": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@exoticknight/mcp-file-merger", "/your/project/dir"]
    }
  }
}

Now you can ask Claude to "merge these three config files and show me the result" or "combine all the error logs from yesterday into one file for analysis."

Why This Beats Manual Methods

Instead of writing throwaway scripts or remembering complex shell commands, you describe what you want in natural language. The AI understands context, suggests improvements, and can even analyze the merged result immediately.

The workflow becomes:

1. "Merge these database migration files in chronological order"
2. Claude identifies the files, merges them properly, and reports the result
3. You get both the merged file and insights about what it contains

No more context switching between your editor and terminal. No more forgetting which files you've already processed.

This isn't about replacing your file system skills - it's about removing the friction from a common task so you can focus on what the combined files actually mean for your project.
