Code Scanner Server MCP Server

A CLI tool and MCP server that scans code files for definitions (classes, functions, etc.), respects .gitignore, provides line numbers, and outputs LLM-friendly

The short version

This project provides a versatile code scanning tool built with TypeScript and Node.js. It leverages the Tree-sitter parsing library to analyze source code and extract structural information. It can operate both as a command-line interface (CLI) tool and as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.

• Code Definition Extraction: — Identifies functions, classes, variables, interfaces, methods, etc
• Multi-Language Support: — Parses JavaScript (.js, .jsx), TypeScript (.ts, .tsx), C# (.cs), PHP (.php), CSS (.css), and Python (.py) via Tree-sitter
• .gitignore Aware: — Automatically respects rules defined in .gitignore files
• Flexible Filtering: — Filter results by definition type, modifiers (public, private), name patterns (regex), and file path patterns
• Multiple Output Formats: — Generates results in Markdown (default), XML, or JSON
• Configurable Detail Levels: — Output verbosity: minimal, standard (default), detailed
