Overview

CTX is a compact PHP-based MCP server that enables AI assistants to directly interact with your codebase. It provides powerful file system tools allowing AI to read, write, search, and modify files across multiple projects. The tool supports custom commands that can be executed by AI, enabling seamless integration with development workflows like testing and deployment. CTX can generate structured context documents from code, git diffs, and other sources to provide comprehensive context to AI models.
