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 Cline connect to MCP servers?
Cline reads MCP server configurations from its settings panel in VS Code. Add the server URL and Cline discovers all available tools on initialization.
Can Cline run MCP tools without approval?
By default, Cline asks for confirmation before executing tool calls. You can configure auto-approval rules for trusted servers in the settings.
Does Cline support multiple MCP servers at once?
Yes. Configure as many servers as needed. Cline can use tools from different servers within the same autonomous task execution.
