How is it useful?

Core

code2prompt is a code ingestion tool that streamline the process of creating LLM prompts for code analysis, generation, and other tasks. It works by traversing directories, building a tree structure, and gathering informations about each file. The core library can easily be integrated into other applications.

CLI

code2prompt command line interface (CLI) was designed for humans to generate prompts directly from your codebase. The generated prompt is automatically copied to your clipboard and can also be saved to an output file. Furthermore, you can customize the prompt generation using Handlebars templates. Check out the provided prompts in the doc !

SDK

code2prompt software development kit (SDK) offers python binding to the core library. This is perfect for AI agents or automation scripts that want to interact with codebase seamlessly. The SDK is hosted on Pypi and can be installed via pip.

MCP

code2prompt is also available as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows you to run it as a local service. This enables LLMs on steroids by providing them a tool to automatically gather a well-structured context of your codebase.
