Question 1

What is the UBOS MCP Source Tree Server?

Accepted Answer

The UBOS MCP Source Tree Server generates a JSON representation of a directory's file tree, allowing AI models like Claude to quickly understand project structures and identify relevant files. It excludes files and directories based on `.gitignore` rules and hidden directory conventions.

Question 2

How does the Source Tree Server help AI models?

Accepted Answer

It provides AI models with a structured view of the project's file system, enabling them to understand code, perform project analysis, generate documentation, and assist in development tasks more effectively.

Question 3

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

Accepted Answer

MCP standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. The Source Tree Server acts as a bridge, translating complex file system structures into a format AI models can readily interpret.

Question 4

How do I install the UBOS MCP Source Tree Server?

Accepted Answer

The installation process involves using Python 3.10+ and the `uv` package manager. Detailed instructions, including commands to install `uv` and sync dependencies, are provided in the setup documentation.

Question 5

How do I integrate the Source Tree Server with Claude for Desktop?

Accepted Answer

You need to add a configuration snippet to your `claude_desktop_config.json` file, specifying the command and arguments for running the `tree.py` script within your project directory.

Question 6

What is the purpose of the `.gitignore` file in the context of the Source Tree Server?

Accepted Answer

The `.gitignore` file specifies patterns for files and directories that should be excluded from the generated file tree. This ensures that the AI model focuses on relevant code and avoids unnecessary clutter, like build artifacts and dependency folders.

Question 7

What types of files and directories are automatically excluded?

Accepted Answer

Directories that begin with a `.` (dot), such as `.git` or `.vscode`, are automatically excluded, as well as any files and directories that match the patterns specified in the `.gitignore` file.

Question 8

What is UBOS, and how does the Source Tree Server relate to it?

Accepted Answer

UBOS is a full-stack AI Agent Development Platform designed to help businesses orchestrate AI Agents, connect them with enterprise data, build custom AI Agents with their own LLM models, and manage Multi-Agent Systems. The Source Tree Server is a component of the UBOS platform that provides AI Agents with better contextual understanding of codebases.

Question 9

Can I use the Source Tree Server with other AI models besides Claude?

Accepted Answer

Yes, while the documentation specifically mentions Claude, the Source Tree Server can be adapted for use with other AI models that can process JSON data and benefit from a structured representation of file systems.
