Overview

codemcp is a coding assistant that integrates with Claude Desktop to enable pair programming. It allows users to ask Claude to implement features, fix bugs, and refactor code directly on their computer. Claude will edit files and run tests, eliminating the need to copy code in and out of Claude's chat window. The tool is designed for use with Claude Pro, Anthropic's $20/mo subscription offering, and provides a unique set of features such as auto-accept by default, Git versioning of LLM edits, and requiring predeclared commands in codemcp.toml. It's IDE-agnostic and offers a different approach compared to other AI coding software.

Q&A

What security measures exist for shell commands executed by Claude?

codemcp forbids unrestricted shell access; you must predeclare any allowed commands in a codemcp.toml file, ensuring the assistant can only run vetted commands.

Asked by Chioma Nwosu · Dec 8, 2025

Do I need a specific IDE to use codemcp?

No, codemcp is IDE‑agnostic; it integrates directly with Claude Desktop and works with whatever editor you prefer on your computer.

Asked by Quyen Tran · Oct 8, 2025

How does codemcp handle code changes and can I revert them?

All edits made by Claude are automatically version‑controlled with Git, allowing you to roll back any change at a fine‑grained level and keep a clean commit history.

Asked by Vincenzo Greco · Sep 21, 2025

What subscription do I need to use codemcp and how does pricing work?

codemcp works with Anthropic's Claude Pro subscription, which costs $20 per month. It can also be used with Claude Max ($100/mo), though the value proposition is less clear compared to Claude Code.
