Common Sense Coder
Bridges Language Server Protocol (LSP) with Model Context Protocol (MCP) to enhance codebase interaction for large language models.
About
Common Sense Coder acts as an intermediary, enabling large language models (LLMs) like Claude Code to navigate and understand complex codebases more effectively. It addresses the limitations of standard Language Server Protocol (LSP) interactions, which are typically optimized for Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and require precise, multi-step queries from LLMs. By translating LSP's technical output into a more intuitive, consolidated format via the Model Context Protocol (MCP), this tool allows LLMs to "browse" code with methods for finding symbols and retrieving comprehensive details in a single, more human-like request, significantly improving their code exploration capabilities.
Key Features
- Offers a 'details' method to retrieve comprehensive symbol information (documentation, signature, implementations, references) in one go
- Provides a 'find things' method for exploratory codebase navigation
- Translates LSP's precise, technical responses into LLM-friendly, complete outputs
- Optimized for improved LLM understanding and reduced query complexity
- Supports standard LSP servers (e.g., rust-analyzer) as backend
- 0 GitHub stars
Use Cases
- Empowering AI code assistants (LLMs) to efficiently explore and understand large codebases
- Improving the context provided to LLMs for code-related tasks by offering structured symbol information
- Facilitating 'go to definition' and 'find all references' for LLMs in complex projects
