This release adds crash-safe JSONL streaming, failure-path telemetry for all 23 tools, encrypted error fields, and automatic log retention policies.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Code Scalpel MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. This release adds crash-safe JSONL streaming, failure-path telemetry for all 23 tools, encrypted error fields, and automatic log retention policies. All telemetry events are now captured with proper error handling and flushed incrementally.
Code Scalpel is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives AI assistants like Claude, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor the ability to surgically extract and analyze code instead of reading entire files.
The server publishes 5 tools. What each one is for:
Problem — Without Code ScalpelFeature — Code ScalpelLLM-Friendly — ✅ Designed for agentsPolyglot — ✅ 13 tier-configured languagesMethod — The Method tool exposed by this servercodescalpel on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Code Scalpel's toolset — Problem, Feature, LLM-Friendly and 2 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by 3d-tech-solutions; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
