# LLMScribe

LLMScribe gives an agent a fixed repository map, file search and local reads. Use it when an agent needs focused project context.

## What it does

LLMScribe exposes repository structure and file content through predictable operations. `project_map` returns the tree without opening every file, `search` checks paths, names and lines, and `read` retrieves a selected file. Search results include the path, line number and match type.

The server can read several files, resolve local, standard-library, external and unresolved imports, and show reverse dependencies. It also exposes Git status and unified diffs. Binary and oversized files are skipped, while truncated output is marked. Processing stays on the machine, with no API key, account or network access. If `uvx` is unavailable in the environment, the Claude Code launch command will fail.

## Requirements
- Needs: Python and uv (commands run via uvx)

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Platform CLI**
```bash
claude mcp add llmscribe -- uvx llmscribe
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from llmscribe <command>

### Codex

**Platform CLI**
```bash
codex mcp add llmscribe -- uvx llmscribe
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from llmscribe <command>

### Cursor

**Config file**
File `.cursor/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "llmscribe": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "llmscribe"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from llmscribe <command>

### GitHub Copilot

**Config file**
File `.vscode/mcp.json`:
```json
{
    "servers": {
        "llmscribe": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "llmscribe"
            ]
        }
    }
}
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from llmscribe <command>

### Gemini CLI

**Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini mcp add llmscribe uvx llmscribe
```
uvx runs the command named after the package; if the README names another one, use uvx --from llmscribe <command>

## When to use it
- map an unfamiliar repository
- find a symbol or text across project files
- read related files without opening the whole tree
- trace direct and reverse dependencies
- inspect Git changes before editing

## Example prompts
- Use `project_map` to outline this repository before reading source files.
- Search for every occurrence of `authentication` with `search`, including paths and line numbers.
- Use `project_dependencies` to show what this file imports and what depends on it.
