my-pi MCP server

my-pi is a helper program that gives your AI careful access to one folder of code on your own computer. It is made for developers who want an AI to look through a project and make small changes, without handing it a free run of your whole machine. If you use a coding assistant and want it to stay inside one project, this is for you.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what you want, like finding where a function is used or fixing a small mistake. Your AI sends that request to my-pi instead of guessing. my-pi then looks inside the project folder you allowed, reads files, searches the code, or checks Git history. It sends the results back, and your AI explains them to you or makes the change you asked for. By default it can only read; changing files needs you to turn on a trusted mode first.

What you can do with it

• Read files inside one project folder
• Search the code for words or patterns
• Find code by its structure, not just text
• Look up where a function is defined and used
• Check for code errors and warnings
• See Git status and what changed
• Edit or patch files when trusted mode is on

Try asking your AI

• “Find every place this function is called in the project”
• “Show me what changed in Git since yesterday”
• “Are there any errors or warnings in this file”
• “Read the config file and tell me what it sets”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, like a list of matching files, a short summary of what changed, or the content of a file. For code navigation you get the location of a definition or the places something is used. If it edits a file, it tells you what it changed. Git checks come back as a status list or a diff you can read.
