mcp-server-code-assist: A Code Assistant MCP Server

Overview

A Model Context Protocol server for code modification and generation. This server provides tools to create, modify, and delete code via Large Language Models.

Tools

  1. create

    • Creates new files

    • Input: XML instruction with path and content

    • Returns: Confirmation of file creation

  2. modify

    • Modifies existing files with search/replace

    • Input: XML instruction with path, search pattern, and new content

    • Returns: Diff of changes

  3. rewrite

    • Completely rewrites a file

    • Input: XML instruction with path and new content

    • Returns: Confirmation of rewrite

  4. delete

    • Removes files

    • Input: XML instruction with path

    • Returns: Confirmation of deletion

    TDQS

    B3/5.0

    Scored across 12 tools

    Disambiguation5/5

    Each tool has a clearly distinct purpose with no ambiguity. For example, create_file vs. modify_file vs. rewrite_file handle different file operations, while git tools target specific git commands. The descriptions make it easy to tell tools apart.

    Naming Consistency5/5

    All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with snake_case throughout. The naming is predictable and readable, such as create_directory, list_directory, git_status, and modify_file, with no deviations in style.

    Tool Count5/5

    With 12 tools, the count is well-scoped for code assistance, covering file operations and git commands. Each tool earns its place without feeling excessive or thin, aligning with the server's purpose.

    Completeness4/5

    The tool surface is nearly complete for code assistance, covering file CRUD and key git operations. Minor gaps exist, such as no git commit or branch management tools, but agents can work around this with the provided tools.
