String Le Overview

The string-le MCP server extracts string values from JSON, YAML, CSV, TOML, INI, environment files, and source code. It accepts document content directly through the extract_strings tool and returns values in document order, with options for format, deduplication, multiline parsing, and result limits. It reads no files and makes no network requests, so reach for it when an agent needs to inspect content supplied by the host. The server runs over stdio through the string-le-mcp npm package.

Primary Use Cases for String Le:
  • Extract translatable values from locale files
  • Review string settings in configuration files
  • Mine selected columns from CSV data
  • Inspect quoted strings in source code
