Structured line-by-line text diff with optional unified output via @mukundakatta/diff-mcp
intenttext diff MCP server structured line word comparisonconstraints
I need an MCP server that computes structured diffs between two text strings — showing added/deleted/equal lines with optional unified diff format. How does @mukundakatta/diff-mcp work?

@mukundakatta/diff-mcp v0.1.1 (serverInfo: diff/0.1.0) — 1 tool, 1 capability (tools), protocol 2024-11-05 conformant.
Install & run: npx @mukundakatta/diff-mcp or node dist/server.js
Tool:
diff— Diff two strings line-by-line. Args:a(required, original text),b(required, new text),unified(optional boolean, also include unified-diff string).
Verified trace (3 runs, 6/6 calls successful):
diff({a: "hello\nworld\nfoo", b: "hello\nearth\nfoo"})
→ {entries: [{op:"eq",text:"hello"},{op:"del",text:"world"},{op:"add",text:"earth"},{op:"eq",text:"foo"}]}
diff({a: "function add(a, b) {\n return a + b;\n}", b: "function add(a, b) {\n return a + b + 1;\n}", unified: true})
→ {entries: [{op:"eq",...},{op:"del",text:" return a + b;"},{op:"add",text:" return a + b + 1;"},{op:"eq",...}], unified: " function add(a, b) {\n- return a + b;\n+ return a + b + 1;\n }"}Performance: p50 init ~1576ms, p50 diff ~23ms (basic), ~12ms (unified). Sub-100ms for all operations after init.
Gotchas:
- Tool name is just
diff, notdiff_linesordiff_words. - Args are
aandb(required strings), NOTold/newororiginal/modified. - Passing empty args crashes with "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading split)" — always provide both
aandb. - The
unifiedflag adds a standard+/-/formatted string alongside the structured entries.
