MCP Source Tree Server

It is an MCP server that generates a file tree under a specified directory. It excludes certain files and directories, such as directories starting with . or conditions in .gitignore . By incorporating it into Claude, it helps Claude to quickly see the structure of the project and identify the files that Claude should edit.

function

Gets the file tree under the specified directory in JSON format.
Exclude files/directories according to .gitignore conditions
Represents the directory structure as hierarchical JSON

Claude for Desktop Settings

Add the following to claude_desktop_config.json :

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "src-tree": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
                "--directory",
                "/path/to/mcp-src-tree",  # このプロジェクトディレクトリの絶対パスに書き換えてください
                "run",
                "tree.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Claude usage example

Please specify the root directory one level above src. When considering .gitignore , it is assumed that .gitignore exists directly under the root directory. It will work if you specify something like /Users/xxx/GitHub/xxx/ のソースツリーを確認してください

It responds as follows:

はい、ソースツリーを確認させていただきます。
プロジェクトの構造を確認しました。以下のような構成になっています：
src/
└── xxxx/
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── converter.py
    ├── html_converter.py
    ├── image_processor.py
    ├── toc_analyzer.py
    └── utils.py

This allows Claude to quickly see the project structure.

File Exclusions

Directories beginning with . are automatically excluded. Files and directories that match a pattern in .gitignore are automatically excluded from the tree. For example, the following .gitignore configuration is valid:

__pycache__/
node_modules/
*.log
