Code Analyze MCP
Give your coding agent accurate tree-sitter parses of classes, functions, and scopes so refactors and navigation stay grounded in real structure.
Overview
Code Analyze MCP is a MCP server for the Build phase that exposes tree-sitter code structure analysis to your AI coding agent.
What is this MCP server?
- Tree-sitter-backed structure analysis exposed as MCP tools over stdio
- Prebuilt MCP bundles (mcpb) for aarch64 macOS and x86_64/aarch64 Linux musl
- Version 0.6.0 registry entry with pinned release artifacts and SHA256 hashes
- Focused scope: code structure, not full semantic type-checking or test execution
- stdio transport fits local Claude Desktop and Claude Code MCP config patterns
- Registry version 0.6.0
- Three platform-specific mcpb packages in server metadata
Community signal: 5 GitHub stars.
What problem does it solve?
Agents often edit the wrong scope because they only see flat text instead of parsed functions, classes, and language-specific nodes.
Who is it for?
Indie developers wiring Claude Code or Cursor to larger repos who need cheap, local structural parsing without standing up a full IDE language server.
Skip if: Teams that only need one-off snippets, or anyone expecting deep semantic analysis, dependency graphs, or automated security findings from this server alone.
What do I get? / Deliverables
After you register the server, your agent can request structural views of the codebase and make refactors that respect real symbol boundaries.
- Registered stdio MCP server the agent can call for structure analysis
- Tree-sitter-derived structural insight usable in multi-file edit sessions
- Repeatable local setup via pinned mcpb artifacts listed in server.json
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Structural code intelligence is most valuable while you are actively building and iterating with an agent, before you ship. Agent-tooling is the canonical shelf for MCP servers that expose parse trees and symbols to Claude Code, Cursor, and similar assistants.
How it compares
MCP integration for AST-style structure, not a replacement for your linter, test runner, or a dedicated code-review skill.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is Code Analyze MCP for?
It is for solo builders and small teams using AI coding agents who want tree-sitter structure analysis inside MCP-compatible clients.
When should I use Code Analyze MCP?
Use it while building or refactoring when the agent must understand file and symbol layout across multiple modules.
How do I add Code Analyze MCP to my agent?
Install the v0.6.0 mcpb release for your platform from the GitHub releases URL in the registry, configure stdio MCP in Claude Code or your client, and point it at the binary.
