Ctxo · Summary

Ctxo is an MCP server that provides code intelligence for AI agents, delivering dependency graphs, git intent, and blast radius analysis in a single call.

filesystem · Summary

A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.

Ctxo · Use cases

  • AI coding agents understanding code structure and dependencies before making changes
  • Code analysis with blast radius identification before refactoring
  • Git-integrated code review with impact assessment

filesystem · Use cases

  • Enable AI models to read and write project files during development
  • Allow Claude or other MCP clients to browse and analyze codebases
  • Provide secure sandboxed access to specific directories for content generation

Ctxo · Install

npm install -g @ctxo/cli  # one-time global install
cxo init
ctxo index

For Claude Desktop, add to your config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ctxo": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@ctxo/cli", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}
