About

Token-efficient MCP server for source code exploration via tree-sitter AST parsing.

Features

Symbol-level code retrieval for GitHub repositories
Tree-sitter AST parsing for more precise code context
Designed to reduce token usage during AI-assisted exploration
Works with MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Code and Cursor

Use Cases

AI coding users

Pull narrow code context into a coding assistant without pasting whole files.

Repository maintainers

Explore unfamiliar GitHub repositories with lower token usage and better symbol targeting.

What This Server Can Do

MCP servers expose three types of capabilities to AI clients. Here's what jcodemunch-mcp supports.

Tools

Supported3 tools

Functions your AI client can call to perform actions — like querying a database, creating a file, or calling an API.

How to use: Tools run automatically when your AI client decides they're needed. Ask your AI assistant to perform a task, and it will invoke the right tool.
