Codemcp Overview

ezyang/codemcp MCP server lets Claude work directly in a local Git checkout by reading and editing files and running configured commands. It exposes an SSE endpoint and uses a project-level codemcp.toml file to define commands such as formatting and tests. Each chat's changes are committed and amended as work progresses, while unrestricted shell access is intentionally disallowed. Reach for it when you want Claude Desktop to modify a repository without tying review to a particular IDE; the README currently considers the project obsolete.
