Coding Assistant Server

The Coding Assistant Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enhances the capabilities of the Cline coding agent. It provides intelligent code suggestions, reduces hallucinations, and documents the knowledge base by leveraging your project's documentation and detecting the technologies used in your codebase.

Features

• Code Suggestions : Offers context-aware code suggestions based on your code snippets and project documentation.
• Documentation Integration : Loads and vectorizes documentation files from the `docs` directory or from provided URLs.
• Technology Detection : Automatically detects programming languages, frameworks, and libraries used in your project.
• Automatic Documentation Retrieval : Finds and adds official documentation links for detected technologies to the knowledge base.
• Project Path Automation : Reads the project path from `project_path.txt` to seamlessly integrate with your current project in Cline.
• Multiple Documentation Sources : Accepts multiple documents and links to enrich the knowledge base.
