FAQ from Everything MCP Server
What are the prerequisites for Everything MCP Server?
The Everything application must be installed and running. Node.js 18+ with ES module support and a Windows OS are required (Everything SDK is Windows‑only).
Does Everything MCP Server modify files?
No. The server provides read‑only file system access through Everything and has no file modification capabilities.
How do I enable content search?

What should I do if I get “Everything search client is not running”?
Start the Everything application and ensure it is not running in portable mode without the Windows service. Also verify that the build directory exists and the Node.js path in the MCP configuration is correct.
Is this server cross‑platform?
No. Everything MCP Server is Windows‑specific due to its dependency on the Everything SDK native DLLs.
