### Description (declared)

# GitMem MCP (Manhattan)

**Token-Efficient Codebase Navigation** - MCP Server for the Manhattan Memory System.

GitMem MCP is a local [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that provides AI agents (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) with a **Virtual File System (VFS)** backed by compressed, cached code context. It allows agents to understand large codebases while saving 50-80% on tokens.

## Features

- 🏗️ **GitMem Context** - Compressed semantic code skeletons (signatures, summaries, hierarchies).
- 🔍 **Hybrid Search** - Semantic and keyword search across the entire codebase.
- 📂 **VFS Navigation** - Browse and read files via token-efficient outlines and contexts.
- 📝 **Auto-Indexing** - Automatically keeps the code index fresh after edits.
- 📊 **Token Analytics** - Track token savings and repository indexing status.

## Installation

```bash
pip install gitmem-mcp
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Install GitMem MCP

```bash
pip install gitmem-mcp
```

### 2. Configure Your AI Client

Setting up GitMem MCP is a two-step process:

#### Step A: Register the Server (One-time)
Add GitMem MCP to your AI tool's global settings.

**Claude Desktop**
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gitmem_mcp": {
      "command": "gitmem",
      "args": ["start"],
      "env": {
        "MANHATTAN_API_URL": "https://www.themanhattanproject.ai"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

**Cursor**
Add to Cursor Settings > MCP:
- Name: `gitmem_mcp`
- Type: `command`
- Command: `gitmem start`
- Env:
  - `MANHATTAN_API_URL`: `https://www.themanhattanproject.ai`

**VS Code / GitHub Copilot**
Add to `mcp.json` or your MCP settings:
```json
{
  "servers": {
    "gitmem_mcp": {
      "command": "gitmem",
      "args": ["start"],
