Ctx MCP server

Ctx is a remote MCP server that gives an AI agent 6 tools, among them get_file, list_files, pack_docs. It answers at https://ctx.vanshul.com/mcp over streamable HTTP, and it listed its tools to an anonymous client, so no sign-in was needed for that. Our probes reached it 6 of 6 times since 11 September 2026; the last check, on 24 October 2026, succeeded.

Turn a GitHub repo or docs site into agent-ready context: pack it or search it, over MCP.

Description as the publisher wrote it.

The 6 tools Ctx offers

ToolWhat it does
get_fileReturn the full text of a single file in a repository, by path. Use after list_files or search_context to drill in.
Inputs: repo, path, ref
list_filesList the text files ctx would include for a repository (after stripping binaries, lockfiles and build dirs), with their byte sizes. Cheap way for an agent to see the layout before packing.
Inputs: repo, ref, include, exclude
pack_docsCrawl a documentation site from a start URL and return it as one agent-ready context blob: each page extracted to clean Markdown, concatenated with its URL. Stays within the same site section; bounded by depth and page count. Use max_tokens
Inputs: url, depth, max_pages, max_tokens
pack_repoFetch a GitHub repository and return it as one agent-ready context blob: text files concatenated with clear "==== path ====" headers, binaries/lockfiles/build dirs stripped, with a token estimate. Use include/exclude globs to focus, and max
Inputs: repo, ref, include, exclude, max_tokens
search_contextSearch a GitHub repository and return only the passages that match a query — each with its file path, line number and a relevance score. Far more token-efficient than pack_repo when you need a specific detail (e.g. "where is auth handled?")
Inputs: repo, query, ref, include, exclude, max_matches
search_docsCrawl a documentation site and return only the passages that match a query — each with its page URL, line and a relevance score. Token-efficient way to answer a question from docs without packing the whole site.
Inputs: url, query, depth, max_pages, max_matches, context_chars
