Overview

What is Code Scanner Server?

Code Scanner Server is a CLI tool and MCP server that scans code files for definitions (classes, functions, etc.), respects .gitignore, provides line numbers, and outputs LLM-friendly formats (XML/Markdown). It is built with TypeScript and Node.js, uses the Tree-sitter parsing library, and is intended for developers who need to extract structural information from codebases programmatically or via AI assistants.

How to use Code Scanner Server?

Install dependencies with npm install, then build the TypeScript code with npm run build. Run as a CLI tool by executing node build/index.js --directory /path/to/codebase with optional flags. To use as an MCP server, omit the --directory argument; then add the server to your MCP client configuration (e.g., claude_desktop_config.json) with the absolute path to build/index.js.

Frequently asked questions

What programming languages does Code Scanner Server support?

It parses JavaScript (`.js`, `.jsx`), TypeScript (`.ts`, `.tsx`), C# (`.cs`), PHP (`.php`), CSS (`.css`), and Python (`.py`) via Tree-sitter.

How do I configure Code Scanner Server as an MCP server?

Add an entry to your MCP client configuration (e.g., `claude_desktop_config.json`) with the command `node` and the absolute path to `build/index.js` as the argument. Then restart your MCP client.

What output formats are available?

You can choose between Markdown (default), XML, and JSON using the `--format` flag.

Is Code Scanner Server stable?

The tool is under active development. Core functionality is operational, but some features or language parsers may not be fully tested and might contain bugs or limitations.

What are the runtime requirements?

You need Node.js and npm installed. The tool is built with TypeScript and requires a build step (`npm run build`) before first use.
