An MCP server that retrieves GitHub code at the symbol level using tree-sitter AST parsing, aiming to reduce token consumption during code exploration. It exposes itself via the Model Context Protocol so any MCP client can query parsed repository structure instead of reading whole files.

Reach for it when you want an AI coding assistant to explore a codebase with far fewer tokens than dumping raw file contents.

Use it to

  • Retrieve specific symbols from a GitHub repository
  • Cut token usage when exploring unfamiliar codebases
  • Wire precise code context into Claude Code or Cursor
  • Give MCP clients AST-level code intelligence

For Developers using MCP-compatible AI coding assistants
