Rangefind MCP Server

Rangefind is a static search engine for large sites that cannot or should not It builds a sparse inverted index into static files, then lets the browser query that index with HTTP Range requests. The core idea is simple: keep the logical search shards small, but pack them into a small number of static files so deploys and cold starts stay practical.

People connecting maps & location tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in JavaScript.
