You can run a local MCP server that compares two texts and shows exact differences. It supports flexible options like ignoring whitespace, case, or line endings, and it provides line-by-line diffs to help you understand exactly where texts differ.

How to use

Start the server locally and connect your MCP client to send two text inputs for comparison or for obtaining a detailed diff. You can compare two strings to determine if they are identical or request a line-by-line breakdown of the differences. Use the available options to tailor the comparison to your needs, such as ignoring whitespace, case differences, or line ending variations.

How to install

Prerequisites: install Node.js and npm on your machine.

Clone the project repository and install dependencies.

compare_texts
