codemcp

codemcp enhances Claude Desktop into a pair programming assistant, enabling direct interaction with your codebase for feature implementation, bug fixes, and refactoring. It eliminates the need for manual code transfer by allowing Claude to directly edit files and run tests.

codemcp distinguishes itself through:

1. Compatibility with Claude Pro, avoiding high API costs.
2. Safe agentic AI, utilizing a limited toolset and Git version control for secure code changes.
3. IDE agnosticism, allowing you to use your preferred IDE to review and refine Claude's modifications.

To get started, install uv and git, then configure claude_desktop_config.json with the provided command and arguments, pointing to the codemcp repository. Alternatively, use a global pip install. A codemcp.toml file in your project root configures formatting and testing commands.

codemcp commits changes per chat, amending as it works. It's designed for iterative collaboration, not full autonomy.
