If you use AI agents, such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, for code refactoring, you may enjoy using this MCP server. Your AI agent, when you ask it to "make code better," may wonder what exactly needs to be improved. Sadly, it may often overlook important problems. AI agents, by design, pay more attention to cosmetic issues, which are "low-hanging fruits" for them. This MCP server will give your agent a hint: what is the most critical design issue in the code. Then, the agent will refactor it and fix the issue.
First, install Node, Npm, Python, Pip, and aibolit:
aibolit --version
Then, add this MCP server to Claude Code
(or simply edit ~/claude.json
, but it's not recommended):
claude mcp add aibolit npx aibolit-mcp-server@0.0.5
Then, restart Claude Code and ask it something along these lines: "Find the most critical design issue in my code base and fix it."
To test this project, simply run the following commands (you'll need Node 18+, Npm, and GNU make installed):
npm install
make
