Overview

What is CodeView MCP 🪄?

CodeView MCP 🪄 is an MCP server that performs a 30-second AI review of pull requests, combining static regex rules for critical smells, a local LLM (CodeLlama-13B) for quick heuristics, and a cloud LLM (Llama-3.1-8b-instant via Groq/OpenAI) for human-style summaries and risk scores. It targets developers who need fast, privacy-conscious PR analysis.

How to use CodeView MCP 🪄?

Clone the repository, create a Python virtual environment, install dependencies, and install the package with pip install -e .. Run a smoke test with reviewgenie/codeview ping https://github.com/psf/requests/pull/6883. Store secrets such as a GitHub PAT and Groq/OpenAI API key using the codeview_mcp.secret keyring module.

Auditing code with inline comments that can be accepted or dismissed

FAQ from CodeView MCP 🪄

What does the `analyze` tool produce?

It returns a summary, a list of smells, rule hits, and a risk score between 0 and 1, with typical latency of 6–10 seconds.

How does CodeView MCP 🪄 protect code privacy?

Only the diff snippet is sent to the cloud LLM (Groq); the full codebase never leaves your machine.

What LLMs does CodeView MCP 🪄 use?

It uses CodeLlama-13B locally and Llama-3.1-8b-instant via a cloud provider (Groq or OpenAI, configured via OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL).

What are the runtime dependencies?

Python 3.10+, SQLite, ChromaDB, and network access for cloud LLM calls. Secrets are stored via the system keyring.

How is the server invoked or transported?

The README shows a CLI command (reviewgenie/codeview) and smoke test; the MCP transport is not specified further.
