Paths Le Overview

The paths-le MCP server exposes the `extract_paths` tool for finding paths in source code and configuration content. It accepts text plus optional format, filename, deduplication, and result-limit parameters, then returns path classifications with 1-based line and column positions. Use it when an agent needs to inspect imports, assets, configuration values, or path-like text without reading files or making network requests. The server runs over stdio through the `paths-le-mcp` npm package and requires no environment variables or API key.

Primary Use Cases for Paths Le:
  • Extract local imports from JavaScript or TypeScript content
  • Audit asset references in HTML and CSS
  • Inspect path-like values in configuration files
  • Locate file references in arbitrary text
