## Overview
code-to-tree is a single-binary, runtime-free Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts source code into an abstract syntax tree (AST) representation, regardless of the programming language. It exposes this functionality through a unified MCP-compatible interface so clients can analyze and navigate code structure programmatically.

## Features
- **MCP server implementation**  
  - Implements the Model Context Protocol for tool/server interoperability.  
  - Usable by any MCP-compatible client.

- **Single-binary, runtime-free design**  
  - Distributed as a single compiled binary.  
  - Does not require an external runtime environment at execution time.

- **Language-agnostic AST generation**  
  - Converts source code into an abstract syntax tree independently of programming language.  
  - Provides a unified structural representation suitable for multi-language codebases.

- **Programmatic code structure access**  
  - Lets clients inspect and navigate code structure via AST.  
  - Supports automated code analysis and tooling workflows over MCP.

- **Example configurations and tool calls**  
  - Includes sample JSON tool call files (`toolcall-1.json`, `toolcall-2.json`, `toolcall-3.json`) and `toolslist.json` illustrating how to interact with the server through MCP.  
  - Example patch file (`ts1.patch`) demonstrating AST-related usage or integration scenarios.

- **Documentation and assets**  
  - `README.md` / `README.org` describing setup and usage (in-repo).  
  - Screenshot assets (`chathistory.png`, `wholeast.png`) showing example interactions and AST visualizations.

## Licensing
- License file: `LICENSE` (specific terms are in the repository license file).

## Technical Artifacts
- Core implementation mainly in `code-to-tree.c`.  
- Build configuration via `Makefile`.  
- GitHub Actions workflows under `.github/workflows` for CI-related tasks.

## Pricing
- Not applicable; this is an open-source GitHub repository. No pricing plans are specified in the provided content.
