feat: Add MCP server mode and token budget optimization for agentic coding
This major update transforms CodeContext from a simple file dumper into an intelligent context server optimized for agentic coding workflows. New Features: - MCP (Model Context Protocol) server implementation * Native integration with Claude Code, Cline, and other MCP clients * Four powerful MCP tools: GetCodeContext, GetProjectStructure, ListProjectFiles, GetFileContent * Stdio transport for seamless subprocess integration - Token Budget Optimization System * TokenCounter service for accurate token estimation * FileRelevanceScorer with multi-factor relevance scoring (filename, path, content, importance) * TokenBudgetOptimizer with three strategies: GreedyByScore, ValueOptimized, Balanced * Intelligent file selection to maximize relevance within token constraints - Enhanced Program Architecture * Dual-mode support: CLI mode (original) and MCP server mode (new) * Command-line flag --mcp/--server to enable MCP mode * Refactored CLI code into ProgramCli.cs for separation of concerns - Comprehensive Documentation * Updated README with MCP setup instructions * Detailed explanations of token optimization strategies * Example workflows and usage patterns * MCP configuration example file Technical Implementation: - Added ModelContextProtocol and Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting NuGet packages - Implemented MCP tools using attribute-based discovery pattern - Relevance scoring algorithm with configurable weights - Multiple selection strategies for different use cases - Task-specific context generation vs. whole-codebase dumps Benefits for Agentic Coding: - Token efficiency: Only send relevant files, not entire codebases - Task-specific context: Intelligent file selection based on task description - Scalable: Works with large codebases through smart sampling - Flexible: Multiple optimization strategies for different scenarios - Integration-ready: Native MCP support for modern AI coding tools This update positions CodeContext as essential infrastructure for agentic coding, similar to how LSP became fundamental for modern IDEs.
