What is the Glob Pattern Tester MCP Server?
When a DevOps agent writes .gitignore rules or CI pipeline includes, it cannot guess whether src/**/*.ts matches src/utils/helper.ts. This MCP provides the definitive answer.
The Superpowers
- Exact Match: Uses minimatch, the same engine behind npm, to evaluate glob patterns deterministically.
- All Patterns: Supports
*,**,?,[abc],{a,b}, and negation!.
Built-in capabilities (1)
gitignore rules, CI include/exclude patterns, or deploy filters. Pass the glob pattern (e.g. "src/**/*.ts") and the file path to test (e.g. "src/utils/helper.ts"). The engine returns a boolean match result using the exact same algorithm used by npm and git. Tests whether a file path matches a glob pattern using minimatch (130M+ weekly downloads). Essential for .gitignore, CI pipeline, and deploy rule validation

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same algorithm git uses?
Yes. minimatch is the glob engine used by npm itself and follows the same POSIX glob specification that git uses for .gitignore.
Does it support double-star recursive patterns?
Yes. The ** pattern matches any number of directories recursively. For example, src/**/*.ts matches files at any depth inside src/.
Can I test negation patterns?
Yes. Prefix any pattern with ! to negate it. For example, !node_modules/** will NOT match any path inside node_modules.
How does Claude Desktop discover MCP tools?
When Claude Desktop starts, it reads the claude_desktop_config.json file and connects to each configured MCP server. It calls the tools/list endpoint to fetch the schema for every available tool, then surfaces them as clickable options in the chat interface via the 🔌 icon.
What happens if the MCP server is temporarily unavailable?
Claude Desktop handles disconnections gracefully. if the server is unreachable at startup, the tools simply won't appear. Once the server becomes available again, restarting Claude Desktop will re-establish the connection. There is no timeout penalty or error loop.
Can I connect multiple MCP servers simultaneously?
Yes. You can add as many servers as you need in the mcpServers section of the config file. Each server appears as a separate tool provider, and Claude can use tools from multiple servers in a single conversation turn.
Is there a limit on the number of tools per server?
Claude Desktop can handle hundreds of tools per server. However, for optimal LLM performance, Vinkius servers are designed to expose focused, well-documented tool sets rather than overwhelming the model with too many options.
Does Claude Desktop support Streamable HTTP transport?
Yes. Claude Desktop supports both SSE (Server-Sent Events) and the newer Streamable HTTP transport that Vinkius uses. Simply provide the server URL. Claude auto-negotiates the transport protocol.
Server not appearing after restart
Ensure the JSON is valid (no trailing commas). Check the file path: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\\Claude\\ (Windows).
Authentication error
Verify your Vinkius token is correct. Go to cloud.vinkius.com to regenerate it if needed.
Tools not showing in chat
Click the 🔌 icon at the bottom of the chat input. If it shows 0 tools, the server may still be connecting. wait a few seconds.
