fix-my-comments-mcp

MCP server for Fix My Comments — exposes local VS Code comment threads to AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.) through the Model Context Protocol.

The server is intentionally small: it reads and writes the same JSON files as the VS Code extension, under ~/.fixmycomments/<repo>-<hash>/<branch>/, and communicates over stdio.

How it works

• Zero config — the server derives storage from process.cwd() and the current Git branch.

• Repo + branch scoped — comments are isolated by repository and branch.

• Shared with the extension — the VS Code extension and MCP server read/write the same threads.json and messages.json files.

• Stale-comment safe — the server checks anchored line hashes against the current workspace file. Outdated threads are hidden by default and write actions are blocked.

Run your agent from inside the repository root. If you start it from another directory, the server will resolve a different storage path.

Installation

Option A: Global install via npm (recommended)

npm install -g fix-my-comments-mcp

Then add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add fix-my-comments --scope user -- fix-my-comments

Option B: Local dev via npm link

git clone <this-repo>
cd fix-my-comments-mcp
npm install
npm run build
npm link
claude mcp add fix-my-comments --scope user -- fix-my-comments

Available Tools

Token-efficient reads

Agents should prefer the smallest read tool that answers the question:

• Use list_open_threads to discover work.

• Use get_message when a message id is already known.

• Use get_message_context to fetch a small window around one message.

• Use get_thread only when the whole thread is needed, or pass messageLimit for the latest messages.

Outdated thread behavior

By default, the server filters out and blocks writes to outdated threads whose anchored line changed.

• list_open_threads excludes outdated threads unless includeOutdated=true.

• get_thread, get_message, and get_message_context require includeOutdated=true to inspect stale comments.

• post_agent_reply, set_task_message_status, add_reaction, and remove_reaction are blocked on outdated threads.

Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• The Fix My Comments VS Code extension installed and active in the project
