MCP-Repo2LLM
Overview
mcp-repo2llm is a MCP server that transforms code repositories into LLM-friendly formats. A powerful tool that transforms code repositories into LLM-friendly formats, bridging the gap between traditional code bases and modern AI language models. This repo is based on RepoToTextForLLMs, which provides core functionality for converting repositories into LLM-readable formats.

Motivation
As AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) become increasingly important in software development, there's a growing need to effectively communicate our codebases to these models. Traditional code repositories aren't optimized for LLM processing, which can lead to suboptimal results when using AI tools for code analysis and generation.
Problem Solved
This project addresses several critical challenges:
Difficulty in processing large codebases with LLMs
Loss of context and structure when feeding code to AI models
Inefficient handling of repository metadata and documentation
Inconsistent formatting across different programming languages
Key Features
Smart Repository Scanning: Intelligently processes entire codebases while maintaining structural integrity
Context Preservation: Maintains important contextual information and relationships between code files
Multi-language Support: Handles various programming languages with language-specific optimizations
Metadata Enhancement: Enriches code with relevant metadata for better LLM understanding
Efficient Processing: Optimized for handling large repositories with minimal resource usage
