### Description (declared)

# ContextDigger MCP Server

Lightweight Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ContextDigger that enables AI tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) to access all 50+ ContextDigger CLI commands.

## What This Is

This package provides **only the MCP server** - a lightweight bridge between AI tools and your locally installed ContextDigger CLI.

**Architecture:**
```
AI Tool (Claude Desktop)
         ↓
    MCP Protocol
         ↓
contextdigger-mcp (this package)
         ↓
    subprocess calls
         ↓
contextdigger CLI (separate installation)
         ↓
    Your .cdg/ data
```

## Benefits

- ✅ **Lightweight**: Only ~600 lines of code, minimal dependencies
- ✅ **Separate installation**: Install/update independently from ContextDigger CLI
- ✅ **Version flexible**: Works with any version of contextdigger CLI
- ✅ **Full CLI parity**: All 50+ commands available as MCP tools
- ✅ **Easy to maintain**: No service layer duplication

## Installation

**Step 1: Install ContextDigger CLI (required)**
```bash
pip install contextdigger
```

**Step 2: Install MCP Server (this package)**
```bash
pip install contextdigger-mcp
```

**Step 3: Verify installation**
```bash
contextdigger --version        # Should show CLI version
contextdigger-mcp --help       # Should show MCP server is ready
```

## Setup for Claude Desktop

**macOS:** Edit `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

**Windows:** Edit `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`

**Linux:** Edit `~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`

Add this configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextdigger": {
      "command": "contextdigger-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

**If using a virtual environment:**
```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextdigger": {
      "command": "/path/to/venv/bin/contextdigger-mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Restart Claude Desktop to activate.
