Overview

The mcp-server-diff-python is a server application designed to obtain text differences between two strings using Python's standard library difflib. It generates differences in Unified diff format, making it suitable for text comparison and version control tasks.

To use the server, configure it in your application (e.g., Claude Desktop) by adding the server configuration to the appropriate config file or by cloning the repository and running the server commands as specified in the documentation.

  • Provides a tool to get differences between two texts in Unified diff format. - Supports configuration for easy integration with applications like Claude Desktop. - Utilizes Python's difflib for efficient text comparison.
  1. Comparing different versions of text documents.
  2. Assisting in version control by highlighting changes between file revisions.
  3. Facilitating collaborative editing by showing differences in real-time.

Use these steps to connect mcp-server-diff-python in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-tatn-mcp-server-diff-python-mcp-mirror"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline
