### Description (declared)

# CodeGlance MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that analyzes GitHub repositories using Gemini AI and generates comprehensive documentation — project overviews, architecture guides, file insights, and more.

Works with any MCP-compatible client: Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.

## Quick Start

### 1. Get a Gemini API Key

Get a free API key from [Google AI Studio](https://aistudio.google.com/app/apikey).

### 2. Install & Configure

#### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add codeglance -e GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here -- uvx codeglance-mcp
```

That's it. Verify with:

```bash
claude mcp list
```

#### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Other MCP Clients

Add to your MCP config file (`claude_desktop_config.json`, `.cursor/mcp.json`, etc.):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeglance": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["codeglance-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GEMINI_API_KEY": "your_gemini_api_key_here"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Alternative: Install via pip

```bash
pip install codeglance-mcp
```

Then configure your MCP client to run `codeglance-mcp` as the command instead of `uvx codeglance-mcp`.

## What It Does

When you ask your AI assistant to analyze a repository, CodeGlance:

1. **Clones** the repository (shallow clone for speed)
2. **Reads** key files (README, package.json, config files, entry points)
3. **Sends** the context to Gemini AI with specialized analysis prompts
4. **Generates** 6 documentation files in `codeglance-analysis/guide/`
