Compatible with every major AI agent and IDE
What is the String Metrics Analyzer MCP Server?
LLMs suffer from absolute tokenization blindness. If you ask an AI "How many times does the letter R appear in the word Strawberry?", it frequently fails because it does not see letters—it sees tokens. This engine enforces deterministic character string auditing.
The Superpowers
- Token Blindness Bypass: Instantly count the exact number of characters, spaces, and words in any text block using pure Node.js string mathematics.
- Specific Substring Audits: Ask the AI to verify exactly how many times a specific tag, word, or character appears in a generated document. The engine provides an irrefutable count.
- SEO & Constraints: Perfect for ensuring AI-generated SEO titles, meta descriptions, or ad copies stay strictly within character limits without hallucinating length.
Built-in capabilities (1)
Pass both strings and receive Levenshtein distance, Jaccard index, and other similarity scores for deduplication or fuzzy matching. Deterministically calculates text metrics including exact character count, word count, and specific character occurrences to bypass LLM tokenization blindness
Why VS Code Copilot?
GitHub Copilot Agent mode brings String Metrics Analyzer data directly into your VS Code workflow. With a project-scoped config, the entire team shares access to 1 tools. Copilot queries live data, generates typed code, and writes tests from actual API responses, all without leaving the editor.
- —
VS Code is used by over 70% of developers. adding MCP tools to Copilot means your team can leverage external data without leaving their primary editor
- —
Project-scoped MCP configs (
.vscode/mcp.json) let you commit server configurations to your repository, ensuring the entire team shares the same tool access - —
Copilot's Agent mode integrates MCP tools seamlessly with file editing, terminal commands, and workspace search in a single agentic loop
- —
GitHub's enterprise compliance and audit features extend to MCP tool usage, providing visibility into how AI interacts with external services

Frequently asked questions
Why not just ask the LLM to count?
Because LLMs process text in chunks called 'tokens', not individual characters.
Does it count whitespaces?
Yes, it provides an exact Javascript string length.
Can it find how many times a word appears?
Yes, substring occurrence counting is fully supported.
Which VS Code version supports MCP?
MCP support requires VS Code 1.99 or later with the GitHub Copilot extension. Ensure both are updated to the latest version. Older versions of Copilot may not expose the Agent mode toggle.
How do I switch to Agent mode?
Open the Copilot Chat panel and look for two mode options: "Ask" and "Agent". Click "Agent" to enable autonomous tool calling. In Ask mode, Copilot provides conversational answers but cannot invoke MCP tools.
Can I restrict which MCP tools Copilot can access?
Yes. VS Code shows a tool consent dialog before any MCP tool is invoked for the first time. You can also configure tool access policies at the organization level through GitHub Copilot settings.
Does MCP work in VS Code Remote or Codespaces?
Yes. MCP servers configured via .vscode/mcp.json work in Remote SSH, WSL, and GitHub Codespaces environments. The MCP connection is established from the remote host, so ensure the server URL is accessible from that environment.
MCP tools not available
Ensure you are in Agent mode in Copilot Chat. MCP tools only appear in Agent mode.
