jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp
Token-efficient MCP server for GitHub source code exploration via tree-sitter AST parsing
Platform-specific configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"jcodemunch-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"jcodemunch-mcp"
]
}
}
}Add the config above to .claude/settings.json under the mcpServers key.
Use it to make money, and Uncle J. gets a taste. Fair enough? details
Most AI agents explore repositories the expensive way: open entire files → skim thousands of irrelevant lines → repeat.
jCodeMunch indexes a codebase once and lets agents retrieve only the exact symbols they need — functions, classes, methods, constants — with byte-level precision.
| Task | Traditional approach | With jCodeMunch | | ---------------------- | -------------------- | --------------- | | Find a function | ~40,000 tokens | ~200 tokens | | Understand module API | ~15,000 tokens | ~800 tokens | | Explore repo structure | ~200,000 tokens | ~2k tokens |
Index once. Query cheaply forever. Precision context beats brute-force context.
