mcp-server-cpp-format
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that formats C/C++ source files in-place using clang-format.
Designed to back the cpp-format Claude Code plugin,
but usable as a standalone MCP server in any MCP-compatible client.
Install
The server is published on PyPI and intended to be invoked via uvx:
uvx mcp-server-cpp-format
Or install into a regular environment:
pip install mcp-server-cpp-format
mcp-server-cpp-format
Requires Python 3.10+ and clang-format available on PATH (or via CLANG_FORMAT_BIN).
Tools
