### Description (declared)

# MCP Server Code Extractor

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides precise code extraction tools using tree-sitter parsing. Extract functions, classes, and code snippets from 30+ programming languages without manual parsing.

## Why MCP Server Code Extractor?

When working with AI coding assistants like Claude, you often need to:
- Extract specific functions or classes from large codebases
- Get an overview of what's in a file without reading the entire thing
- Retrieve precise code snippets with accurate line numbers
- Avoid manual parsing and grep/sed/awk gymnastics

MCP Server Code Extractor solves these problems by providing structured, tree-sitter-powered code extraction tools directly within your AI assistant.

## Features

- **🎯 Precise Extraction**: Uses tree-sitter parsing for accurate code boundary detection
- **🔍 Semantic Search**: Search for function calls and code patterns across files and directories
- **🌍 30+ Languages**: Supports Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, C/C++, and many more
- **📍 Line Numbers**: Every extraction includes precise line number information
- **🗂️ Directory Search**: Search entire codebases with file pattern filtering and exclusions
- **📊 Depth Control**: Extract at different levels (top-level only, classes+methods, everything)
- **🌐 URL Support**: Fetch and extract code from GitHub, GitLab, and direct file URLs
- **🔄 Git Integration**: Extract code from any git revision, branch, or tag
- **⚡ Fast & Lightweight**: Efficient caching and minimal dependencies
- **🤖 AI-Optimized**: Designed specifically for use with AI coding assistants
