About Mcp Repo2llm Server

What is Mcp Repo2llm Server: Code-to-App AI Workflows?

Mcp Repo2llm Server is a specialized tool designed to bridge the gap between traditional code repositories and modern AI language models. It transforms raw codebases into structured, LLM-friendly formats by preserving context, metadata, and language-specific optimizations. This ensures that AI tools can effectively analyze, understand, and generate code with minimal resource overhead, making it an essential middleware for integrating code repositories with AI workflows.

How to Use Mcp Repo2llm Server: Code-to-App AI Workflows?

To deploy the server, follow these steps:

Install via uv:

"mcp-repo2llm-server": {
  "command": "uv",
  "args": [
    "run",
    "--with",
    "mcp[cli]",
    "--with-editable",
    "/mcp-repo2llm",
    "mcp",
    "run",
    "/mcp-repo2llm/mcp-repo2llm-server.py"
  ],
  "env": {
    "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your-github-token",
    "GITLAB_TOKEN": "your-gitlab-token"
  }
}

Access Repositories:
Use functions like get_gitlab_repo, get_github_repo, or get_local_repo to process repositories. Specify the repository URL/path and branch (default: master), then retrieve the structured output for AI consumption.

MCP-Repo2LLM

Overview

mcp-repo2llm is a MCP server that transforms code repositories into LLM-friendly formats. A powerful tool that transforms code repositories into LLM-friendly formats, bridging the gap between traditional code bases and modern AI language models. This repo is based on RepoToTextForLLMs, which provides core functionality for converting repositories into LLM-readable formats.

Motivation

As AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly important in software development, there's a growing need to effectively communicate our codebases to these models. Traditional code repositories aren't optimized for LLM processing, which can lead to suboptimal results when using AI tools for code analysis and generation.

Problem Solved

This project addresses several critical challenges:

Difficulty in processing large codebases with LLMs
Loss of context and structure when feeding code to AI models
Inefficient handling of repository metadata and documentation
Inconsistent formatting across different programming languages

Key Features

Smart Repository Scanning : Intelligently processes entire codebases while maintaining structural integrity
Context Preservation : Maintains important contextual information and relationships between code files
Multi-language Support : Handles various programming languages with language-specific optimizations
Metadata Enhancement : Enriches code with relevant metadata for better LLM understanding
Efficient Processing : Optimized for handling large repositories with minimal resource usage

Installation

To install mcp-repo2llm by uv:

"mcp-repo2llm-server": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "mcp[cli]",
        "--with-editable",
        "/mcp-repo2llm",
        "mcp",
        "run",
        "/mcp-repo2llm/mcp-repo2llm-server.py"
      ],
      "env":{
          "GITHUB_TOKEN":"your-github-token",
          "GITLAB_TOKEN":"your-gitlab-token"
      }
    }
