ontomics · Summary
ontomics extracts domain knowledge from codebases via MCP, reducing token consumption 20x and search time 10x by making concepts and naming conventions queryable.
filesystem · Summary
A feature-rich MCP server for filesystem operations with dynamic directory access control.
ontomics · Use cases
- Accelerating code understanding by 20x through concept-based queries instead of file searches
- Maintaining code consistency by checking naming conventions against established patterns
- Discovering implementation similarities across differently named functions
- Exporting domain knowledge to bootstrap new repositories with established conventions
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
