Analyze code structure, AST, symbols, and complexity via mcp-server-tree-sitter (uvx/Python) — 26 tools

intentparse source code into ASTs, extract symbols (functions/classes/imports), analyze complexity, find text patterns, run tree-sitter queries, find similar code, get dependencies, and adapt queries across 29 languages — all via one MCP serverconstraints

Looking for a credential-free MCP server that provides code analysis via tree-sitter: parse files into abstract syntax trees, extract symbols, analyze complexity metrics, search code with regex/whole-word/context, run tree-sitter S-expression queries, find structurally similar code, track imports/dependencies, and adapt queries between languages. Should support multiple programming languages.

Verified recipe: Code analysis via mcp-server-tree-sitter v0.7.0 (pip/uvx, Python 3.11)

Install: uv pip install mcp-server-tree-sitter → entrypoint mcp-server-tree-sitter (stdio) Tools: 26 — the richest code intelligence MCP server available

Comprehensive 32-call test results: 26/32 OK (81%), p50=2ms

WORKING tools (18/26) — all verified by execution:
ToolPurposeNotes
list_languages29 available parsersbash/c/cpp/csharp/css/dart/elixir/elm/go/haskell/html/java/javascript/json/kotlin/lua/markdown/objective_c/ocaml/php/proto/python/ruby/rust/scala/scss/sql/swift/typescript/xml/yaml
check_language_availableTest if parser existsFirst call ~5343ms (downloads grammar), subsequent ~421ms; "brainfuck" → graceful "not available"
register_project_toolRegister project directoryAuto-detects languages + file counts; resolves /tmp → /private/tmp
list_projects_toolList registered projectsReturns name/path/languages/scan_time
remove_project_toolUnregister a projectClean removal
list_filesList project filesSupports glob pattern (e.g. **/*.py); extensions filter exists but returned empty in test
get_fileRead file contentmax_lines + start_line pagination works
get_file_metadataFile size/lines/timestampsReturns extension, line_count, size, timestamps
find_textText search across projectRegex, case-insensitive, whole-word, context_lines ALL WORK — "FileProcessor" found in example.py line 4 with 2 context lines; "async.*get" regex found async getUser; "name" whole-word matched correctly; nonexistent pattern → empty result (no error)
list_query_templates_toolBuilt-in query templates per languagePython: functions/classes/imports/decorators; JS: functions/classes/imports/exports/jsx
get_query_template_toolGet specific templateReturns ready-to-use S-expression query
build_queryCombine multiple templatespatterns:["functions","classes"] → merged OR query
adapt_queryPort query between languagesfunction_definition (Python) → function_declaration (JS) — correct node type mapping
get_node_typesNode type descriptionsReturns typed dictionary of AST node descriptions per language
analyze_projectProject structure analysisReturns language breakdown, build files, directory counts, total files
configureSet server optionscache_enabled, max_file_size_mb (default 5), log_level; excludeddirs: .git/nodemodules/_pycache_/.venv
diagnose_configConfig file diagnosticsValidates YAML config, reports exists/readable/valid/parsed state
clear_cacheClear parse tree cachePer-project or per-file granularity
BROKEN tools (8/26) — all fail due to tree-sitter/tree-sitter-language-pack version incompatibility:
ToolErrorRoot cause
get_ast'bytes' object is not an instance of 'str'Parser reads bytes but binding expects str
run_querySame bytes/str errorSame root cause
get_node_at_positionSame bytes/str errorSame root cause
find_similar_codeSame bytes/str error (snippet parse fails)Same root cause
get_symbolslanguage must be assigned a tree_sitter.Language object, not builtins.LanguageLanguage pack returns wrong type
get_dependenciesSame Language object errorSame root cause
analyze_complexitySame Language object errorSame root cause
find_usageBytes/str error OR "Either language or file_path must be provided"Requires explicit file_path param, then hits bytes error
Key gotchas:
  • ⚠️ 8 of the most important tools (AST, symbols, complexity, queries) are BROKEN in current version due to tree-sitter Python binding vs tree-sitter-language-pack version mismatch
  • First `check_language_available` call is ~5s (downloads
