Code Assistant

Code Assistant is a Rust-built CLI tool designed to aid with code-related tasks. It features autonomous codebase exploration, file reading/writing, working memory management, and file summarization. The tool supports interactive communication and can operate as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for LLM integration.

Installation: Requires Rust. Clone the repository, navigate to the directory, and build using cargo build --release.

Configuration in Claude Desktop: Configure projects in .code-assistant/projects.json in your home directory, specifying project paths. Configure MCP servers in Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json file, pointing to the code-assistant executable.

Usage:

• Agent Mode: code-assistant --task <TASK> [OPTIONS]. Options include specifying the path, task, LLM provider (ai-core, anthropic, open-ai, ollama, vertex), model, and agent mode (working_memory, message_history).
• Server Mode: code-assistant server [OPTIONS]. Runs as an MCP server.
