- **Simple MCP Tools**: Two core functions for basic queries and file analysis
- **Stateless Operation**: No sessions, caching, or complex state management
- **Production Ready**: Robust error handling with configurable timeouts (default: 90 seconds)
- **Minimal Dependencies**: Only requires `mcp>=1.0.0` and Codex CLI
- **Easy Deployment**: Support for both uvx and traditional pip installation
- **Universal MCP Compatibility**: Works with any MCP-compatible AI coding assistant
