Code Context Provider MCP offers directory structure generation and code symbol analysis for AI assistants. It helps you surface project layout and key symbols from JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python files, enabling smarter code understanding and faster context-building for you and your AI workflows.

How to use

You connect your MCP client to the Code Context Provider MCP to request a directory tree and optional code symbols. The server analyzes the target project, returning a structured view of folders and files, along with functions, variables, classes, imports, and exports when you enable symbol extraction. This is useful for quickly grasping a codebase, navigating large repos, and providing richer context to AI assistants.

How to install

Prerequisites you need before installation:

Node.js and npm installed on your machine
Access to a terminal or command prompt

Install the MCP server using the standard CLI command shown for MCP setup. You can install via npx or as a global package.

Install via npx (recommended for quick setup)

npx -y @smithery/cli install @AB498/code-context-provider-mcp --client claude

Windows

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code_context_mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "name": "code_context_mcp",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "code-context-provider-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

macOS / Linux

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "code_context_mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "name": "code_context_mcp",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "code-context-provider-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Alternative: install globally and run

npm install -g code-context-provider-mcp

Then run:

code-context-provider-mcp

If you’re not using the latest version, clear the npx cache as needed on Windows or Linux/macOS to fetch the latest release.

## Notes on usage after install

If you used the global command, you can start the MCP server directly (the exact command may vary slightly if you use a non-latest version). The important part is that you invoke the MCP server so that your client can request the directory structure and optional code symbols.

## Available tools

### get\_code\_context

Analyzes a directory and returns its structure along with code symbols (optional). Supports configuring analyzeJs, includeSymbols, symbolType, filePatterns, and maxDepth to tailor the analysis.
