# 🔧 MCP Codemode

[![PyPI - Version](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/mcp-codemode)](https://pypi.org/project/mcp-codemode)

**Code Mode for MCP Tools**: Programmatically call and compose MCP tools through code execution instead of individual LLM tool calls.

## Overview

MCP Codemode enables a "Code Mode" pattern where AI agents write Python code that orchestrates multiple MCP tool calls, rather than making individual tool calls through LLM inference. This approach is:

- **More efficient**: Reduce LLM calls for multi-step operations
- **More reliable**: Use try/except for robust error handling
- **More powerful**: Parallel execution with asyncio, loops, conditionals
- **More composable**: Save reusable patterns as skills

## Configuration highlights

- **Direct tool calls**: `allow_direct_tool_calls` (default: false). When false, `call_tool` is hidden and all execution flows through `execute_code`.
- **Tool listing filters**: `list_tool_names` accepts `server`, `keywords`, and `limit` for fast, filtered discovery.
- **Search rerank hook**: Provide an optional `tool_reranker` callable to reorder search results before they are returned (e.g., LLM-based rerankers). Falls back to registry order when not provided.
- **Execution language**: `execute_code` runs Python inside the configured sandbox; import bindings from `generated.servers.<server_name>`.
- **Safety cap**: `max_tool_calls` can limit the number of tool invocations per `execute_code` run.
- **Tool examples**: tool discovery and details include `output_schema` and `input_examples` to improve parameter accuracy.
- **Deferred tools**: tools may be marked `defer_loading` by…
