Corrode MCP Server

What is Corrode MCP Server?

Corrode MCP Server is a Rust-based implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) for code-related tasks. It integrates crates.io, Rust documentation, code analysis, file operations, and shell command execution, giving AI assistants direct access to Rust development tools.

How to use Corrode MCP Server?

Install via cargo install corrode-mcp or build from source with cargo install --path .. Then configure the binary (with the --mcp flag) in your MCP host, e.g., in Claude Desktop’s claude_desktop_config.json under the mcpServers key.

Key features of Corrode MCP Server

• Crates.io search and dependency exploration
• Rust docs access via docs.rs
• Code analysis with cargo check and function signatures
• File read/write and unified diff operations
• Code search by keywords and file types
• Shell command execution with context tracking

Use cases of Corrode MCP Server

• Search for Rust crates and inspect their features, versions, and dependencies
• Check Rust projects for compilation errors without leaving the AI interface
• Understand code structure by listing function signatures in a directory
• Create new modules or manage dependencies through natural language requests
• Find all occurrences of a specific pattern (e.g., tokio::spawn) in the codebase
