Structural intelligence
Native AST maps, symbol context, callers, dependencies, impact, and structural search without whole-file source dumps.

ast-mcpinspect structurally · write safelyInspect structurally.Write safely.
ast-mcp gives coding agents a zero-trust repository boundary with native code intelligence, state-machine-enforced edits, and atomic filesystem operations.
Zero-trust boundaries
Every path is root-bounded, symlink-aware, and validated before code intelligence or filesystem work begins.
Guarded mutation
Fresh hashes, exact-match rewrites, deterministic locks, formatting, and atomic replacement make writes reviewable.
Follow the boundary
From first install to verified agent workflow.
Connect your host, choose the smallest intelligence surface, then make guarded writes with fresh state and explicit intent.
01 / Connect
Installation
Install the MCP server, skill, and blocking hooks for Codex, Claude, or Copilot.

Code intelligence
Map symbols, trace calls, inspect impact, and search syntax without source sprawl.
Read guide03 / Change
Write boundary
Move through hash, preview, patch, format, lock, and atomic commit.
