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 Windsurf discover MCP tools?
Windsurf reads the mcp_config.json file on startup and connects to each configured server via Streamable HTTP. Tools are listed in the MCP panel and available to Cascade automatically.
Can Cascade chain multiple MCP tool calls?
Yes. Cascade is an agentic system. it can plan and execute multi-step workflows, calling several tools in sequence to accomplish complex tasks without manual prompting between steps.
Does Windsurf support multiple MCP servers?
Yes. Add as many servers as needed in mcp_config.json. Each server's tools appear in the MCP panel and Cascade can use tools from different servers in a single flow.
