Summary
The opening move on an unfamiliar codebase: layout and symbol names before any file is opened.
get_code_context is the whole server, and its own description places it at the start of a new task — a quick overview rather than a reading tool. What returns is structure and symbols, and there is no second tool to open a file afterwards, so it pairs with whatever file access the client already has.
What it is
A single-tool server that walks a project directory from an absolute path and returns its tree together with the code symbols found in it.
What you get
- A project's directory tree and its code symbols returned together from one call
- Walk depth bounded by maxDepth, symbols switched on with includeSymbols and narrowed by symbolType
- JavaScript analysis toggled separately through analyzeJs
Requirements
A project directory on the machine running the server, named by absolutePath.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y code-context-provider-mcp@latest
