Primary tools included: Loads and indexes TypeDoc JSON documentation, Supports symbol search with filtering by kind, Provides detailed symbol and parameter information.
Static-analysis-powered context compiler for LLM coding agents. Parses Python repos into dependency graphs, selects the minimal code context for a change (callers, callees, related functions), and packs it into a token budget with a disclosure header. Optionally biases retrieval from the bug report text. Includes verify which mines your repo's git history and grades retrieval — printing NULL RESULT when it doesn't fit. Zero runtime dependencies. pip install "diffcontext[mcp]".
MCP server that provides Typescript API information efficiently to the agent to enable it to work with untrained APIs
