Provides specialized review capabilities for Unicode and internationalization issues through the review-unicode critic tool.
MCP Review Server
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides specialized code review capabilities using expert critic frameworks and automated fixing strategies to address identified issues.
Example usagage
The typical workflow involves two steps in your vs code agent chat:
- Critique: Use a critic tool to analyze code and identify issues
- Fix: Apply a fixer strategy to address the identified problems
Step 1: Critique Code
For best results start a new chat to clear context, then write a request like
Step 2: Apply Fixes
Features
- 36+ Specialized Critics: Each critic focuses on specific aspects of code quality
- 3 Fixing Strategies: Automated methods for addressing critic findings
- Explicit Invocation: Users explicitly choose which critic or fixer to apply to their code
- Expert Frameworks: Uses proven methodologies from the ai-review repository
- Two-Step Workflow: Critique first, then apply appropriate fixing strategy
Setup
- Clone with submodules to get critic frameworks:
- Install dependencies:
- Run the server:
Available Tools
The server automatically loads all critic frameworks from the ai-review/critic
directory and fixer strategies from the ai-review/fixer
directory.
