Tree-Hugger-JS MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides AI agents with powerful JavaScript/TypeScript code analysis and transformation capabilities using the tree-hugger-js library.

Features

🔍 Code Analysis

  • Parse JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX files or code strings

  • Find patterns using intuitive syntax (e.g., function, class[name="MyClass"])

  • Extract functions, classes, imports with detailed metadata

  • Navigate AST nodes and analyze code structure

  • Get nodes at specific positions

🔧 Code Transformation

  • Rename identifiers throughout code

  • Remove unused imports

  • Chain multiple transformations

  • Insert code before/after patterns

  • Preview transformations before applying

📊 Code Intelligence

  • Scope analysis and variable binding

  • Pattern matching with CSS-like selectors

  • Support for async functions, classes, methods

  • TypeScript type import handling

Installation & Usage

🚀 Quick Start (Recommended)

Try immediately with npx - no installation required:

# Use with Claude Code or any MCP client npx tree-hugger-js-mcp

📦 Global Installation

# Install globally for repeated use npm install -g tree-hugger-js-mcp # Then run anywhere tree-hugger-js-mcp

🔧 Development Setup

# Clone and build from source git clone https://github.com/qckfx/tree-hugger-js-mcp.git cd tree-hugger-js-mcp npm install npm run build npm start

MCP Client Configuration

Using with Claude Code

Add to your MCP client configuration:

{ "mcpServers": { "tree-hugger-js": { "command": "npx", "args": ["tree-hugger-js-mcp"] } } }

Alternative Configurations

{ "mcpServers": { "tree-hugger-js": { // If installed globally "command": "tree-hugger-js-mcp" // Or if built from source "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/tree-hugger-js-mcp/build/index.js"] } } }

Tools

Code Analysis Tools

parse_code

Parse JavaScript/TypeScript code from file or string.

Parameters:

  • source (string): File path or code string to parse

  • isFilePath (boolean, optional): Whether source is a file path (auto-detected if not provided)

  • language (string, optional): Language to use (javascript, typescript, jsx, tsx)

Example:

// Parse a file await callTool("parse_code", { source: "./src/app.js", isFilePath: true }); // Parse code string await callTool("parse_code", { source: "function hello() { console.log('world'); }" });

find_pattern

Find first node matching a pattern.

Parameters:

  • pattern (string): Pattern to match using tree-hugger-js syntax

Examples:

// Find any function await callTool("find_pattern", { pattern: "function" }); // Find async functions await callTool("find_pattern", { pattern: "function[async]" }); // Find class by name await callTool("find_pattern", { pattern: "class[name='MyClass']" });

find_all_pattern

Find all nodes matching a pattern.

Parameters:

  • pattern (string): Pattern to match

  • limit (number, optional): Maximum matches to return

get_functions

Get all functions with details.

Parameters:

  • includeAnonymous (boolean, optional): Include anonymous functions (default: true)

  • asyncOnly (boolean, optional): Only return async functions (default: false)

get_classes

Get all classes with methods and properties.

Parameters:

  • includeProperties (boolean, optional): Include class properties (default: true)

  • includeMethods (boolean, optional): Include class methods (default: true)

get_imports

Get all import statements.

Parameters:

  • includeTypeImports (boolean, optional): Include TypeScript type-only imports (default: true)

Code Transformation Tools

rename_identifier

Rename all occurrences of an identifier.

Parameters:

  • oldName (string): Current identifier name

  • newName (string): New identifier name

  • preview (boolean, optional): Return preview only (default: false)

Example:

await callTool("rename_identifier", { oldName: "fetchData", newName: "fetchUserData", preview: true });

remove_unused_imports

Remove unused import statements.

Parameters:

  • preview (boolean, optional): Return preview only (default: false)

transform_code

Apply multiple transformations in sequence.

Parameters:

  • operations (array): Array of transformation operations

  • preview (boolean, optional): Return preview only (default: false)

Example:

await callTool("transform_code", { operations: [ { type: "rename", parameters: { oldName: "oldFunc", newName: "newFunc" } }, { type: "removeUnusedImports" }, { type: "replaceIn", parameters: { nodeType: "string", pattern: /localhost/g, replacement: "api.example.com" } } ], preview: true });

insert_code

Insert code before or after nodes matching a pattern.

Parameters:

  • pattern (string): Pattern to match for insertion points

  • code (string): Code to insert

  • position (string): "before" or "after"

  • preview (boolean, optional): Return preview only (default: false)

Navigation Tools

get_node_at_position

Get AST node at specific line and column.

Parameters:

  • line (number): Line number (1-based)

  • column (number): Column number (0-based)

analyze_scopes

Analyze variable scopes and bindings.

Parameters:

  • includeBuiltins (boolean, optional): Include built-in identifiers (default: false)

Resources

The server provides three resources for accessing internal state:

ast://current

Current parsed AST state with metadata and statistics.

ast://analysis

Results from the most recent code analysis (functions, classes, imports).

ast://transforms

History of code transformations and available operations.

Pattern Syntax

Tree-hugger-js uses intuitive patterns instead of verbose tree-sitter node types:

Basic Patterns

  • function - Any function (declaration, expression, arrow, method)

  • class - Class declarations and expressions

  • string - String and template literals

  • import/export - Import/export statements

  • call - Function calls

  • loop - For, while, do-while loops

Attribute Selectors

  • [name="foo"] - Nodes with specific name

  • [async] - Async functions

  • [text*="test"] - Nodes containing text

CSS-like Selectors

  • class method - Methods inside classes

  • function > return - Return statements directly in functions

  • :has() and :not() pseudo-selectors

Examples

Basic Code Analysis

// Parse and analyze a React component await callTool("parse_code", { source: "./components/UserProfile.jsx" }); // Get all functions const functions = await callTool("get_functions", { asyncOnly: true }); // Find JSX elements const jsxElements = await callTool("find_all_pattern", { pattern: "jsx" });

Code Refactoring

// Rename a function and remove unused imports await callTool("transform_code", { operations: [ { type: "rename", parameters: { oldName: "getUserData", newName: "fetchUserProfile" } }, { type: "removeUnusedImports" } ] });

Pattern Matching

// Find all async functions that call console.log await callTool("find_all_pattern", { pattern: "function[async]:has(call[text*='console.log'])" }); // Find classes with constructor methods await callTool("find_all_pattern", { pattern: "class:has(method[name='constructor'])" });

Development

# Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build # Watch mode for development npm run dev # Test with MCP inspector npm run inspector

Error Handling

The server provides detailed error messages and suggestions:

  • File not found errors for invalid file paths

  • Parse errors with helpful context

  • Pattern matching errors with suggestions

  • Transformation errors with rollback capability
