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.
