llm-context.py

Description:
llm-context.py is an open-source MCP server and CLI tool that enables developers to share code context with Large Language Models (LLMs). It supports both Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration and clipboard-based workflows, making it easy to switch between different tasks such as code review and documentation. The tool provides smart code outlining and rule-based customization for flexible context sharing.

Features

• Direct LLM Integration: Native integration with Claude Desktop via the MCP protocol.
• Clipboard Workflow: Works with any LLM chat interface using the command line and clipboard operations.
• Smart File Selection: Utilizes .gitignore patterns to select relevant files for context sharing.
• Rule-Based Customization: Supports multiple rule-based profiles, allowing easy switching between tasks (e.g., code review, documentation). System and user-defined rules are available.
• Project Type Support: Suitable for code repositories and collections of text/markdown/html documents.
• Project Size Optimization: Optimized for projects that fit within an LLM's context window. (Large project support is under development.)
• Smart Code Outlines: Automatically generates code outlines highlighting important definitions, aiding LLMs in understanding code structure.
• Definition Implementation Extraction: Allows pasting full implementations of specific definitions requested by LLMs.
• Customizable Templates & Prompts: Users can customize how project content is captured and presented.
• Core CLI Commands:
  • lc-init: Initialize project configuration
  • lc-set-rule <n>: Switch rules
  • lc-sel-files: Select files for inclusion
  • lc-sel-outlines: Select files for outline generation
  • lc-context: Generate and copy context (with options for prompts and user notes)
  • lc-prompt: Generate project instructions for LLMs
  • lc-clip-files: Process LLM file requests
  • lc-changed: List files modified since last context generation
  • lc-outlines: Generate outlines for code files
  • lc-clip-implementations: Extract code implementations requested by LLMs (not for C/C++)
• Persistent Context Support: Works well with interfaces that support persistent context (e.g., Claude Projects, Custom GPTs).
• Open Source: Licensed under Apache-2.0.
