🌟 What Makes coder-mcp Unique?

While other MCP servers provide basic file operations or simple integrations, coder-mcp is the first comprehensive code intelligence platform for AI assistants. It's not just about reading and writing files—it's about understanding your entire codebase, remembering context across sessions, and providing intelligent assistance that improves over time.

🎯 The Problem

• Traditional MCP servers forget everything between sessions
• Basic file operations lack code understanding
• No semantic awareness of relationships between files
• Limited to simple read/write operations
• No code quality analysis or intelligent suggestions

💡 Our Solution

• Persistent vector-based memory that survives across sessions
• AST-based code analysis for deep understanding
• Semantic search across your entire codebase
• Intelligent scaffolding with best practices built-in
• Multi-language support with extensible architecture

🚀 Features

🧠 Intelligent Context Management

• Cross-Session Memory: Your AI assistant remembers your project, decisions, and patterns
• Vector-Based Search: Find code by meaning, not just text matching
• Relationship Mapping: Understands how files relate to each other
• Project Intelligence: Builds comprehensive knowledge of your codebase

🔍 Advanced Code Analysis

• AST-Based Understanding: Goes beyond text to understand code structure
• Multi-Language Support: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript (more coming)
• Code Smell Detection: Identifies issues like long functions, complex conditionals
• Dependency Analysis: Tracks and analyzes your project dependencies
• Quality Metrics: Calculates complexity, maintainability scores

🏗️ Intelligent Code Generation

• Smart Scaffolding: Generate boilerplate with your patterns and preferences
• Best Practices: Automatically applies language-specific best practices
• Template System: Extensible templates for common patterns
• Context-Aware: Uses your existing code style and patterns

🔒 Enterprise-Ready Architecture

• Secure by Design: Path traversal protection, input validation
• High Performance: Redis-backed storage with efficient caching
• Scalable: Handles large codebases with thousands of files
• Reliable: Comprehensive error handling and recovery

---

📋 Requirements

• Python 3.10+
• Redis server (for vector storage and caching)
• 4GB+ RAM recommended
• OpenAI API key (for embeddings)

---

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

Install from PyPI (Recommended)

pip install coder-mcp

Install from Source

git clone https://github.com/coder-mcp/coder-mcp.git
cd coder-mcp
pip install -e .

Configuration

1. Set up your environment variables:

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your configuration:
# - OPENAI_API_KEY (required for embeddings)
# - REDIS_URL (defaults to localhost:6379)
# - Other optional settings

2. Add to your MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "coder-mcp": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "coder_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "OPENAI_API_KEY": "<your-openai-api-key>",
        "REDIS_URL": "redis://localhost:6379"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Start using with Claude Desktop or your MCP client!
