arbor-mcp

Model Context Protocol server for Arbor
Let Claude walk your code graph

Overview

arbor-mcp is the AI Bridge for Arbor. It implements the Model Context Protocol to let LLMs like Claude Desktop navigate your codebase as a graph.

Compared with typical code-intel MCP servers, Arbor focuses on:

• Graph-backed impact analysis (not keyword-only retrieval)
• Explainable confidence and architectural role classification
• Git-aware CI workflows (arbor diff, arbor check) for change risk gating

MCP Tools

Why MCP?

Instead of RAG-style "find similar text," Arbor lets the AI:

• Walk the call graph to understand control flow
• Trace imports to find the real source of a symbol
• Predict impact before making changes

Usage

cargo install arbor-graph-cli
arbor setup
arbor bridge  # Starts MCP server over stdio

Claude Code (recommended)

claude mcp add --transport stdio --scope project arbor -- arbor bridge
claude mcp list

Inside Claude Code, run:

/mcp
