File Encoding & BOM Normalizer MCP Connector for Claude

The File Encoding & BOM Normalizer is a specialized utility for maintaining consistent file encoding and line ending standards across development environments. It prevents subtle runtime parser errors caused by Byte Order Marks (B/BOM) or mixed line endings (CRLF vs LF). Using the identify_encoding_bom tool, you can detect exact byte signatures for UTF-8, UTF-16 LE, and UTF-16 BE at the start of any file. The inspect_line_endings tool allows you to check if a file uses consistent LF or CRLF sequences. For larger scale changes, use preview_normalization_stats to calculate exactly how many bytes would be removed during a normalization process. Finally, generate_normalized_payload provides the clean, normalized text content of a file, stripped of BOM and converted to standard UTF-8 with LF line endings.
