MCP tool server for AI coding agents -- encoding-aware file tools, binary analysis, DAP debugger, SSH/SFTP, process memory, and more

agent-tool is a single-binary MCP tool server that provides over 50 tools for AI coding agents. It addresses common issues like tab indentation corruption, encoding breakage, and lack of reverse engineering support. With smart indentation and encoding preservation, it seamlessly replaces built-in tools.
