MiniClaude

What it does

MiniClaude is a stripped-down, high-performance local implementation of Claude Code. It provides a fullscreen terminal interface for AI-driven development, allowing developers to interact with their codebase, execute shell commands, and manage Git workflows without the overhead of cloud-based telemetry or synchronization services.

Tools

• Shell Execution: Run bash/powershell commands directly from the AI chat.
• File Management: Read, write, edit, and glob files within the project workspace.
• Git Integration: Perform commits, branch management, and diffing.
• MCP Support: Connect to external Model Context Protocol servers to extend capabilities.
• LSP Integration: Enhanced code understanding via Language Server Protocol.

Installation

Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json (if using as a server) or run locally:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "miniclaude": {
      "command": "bun",
      "args": ["run", "/path/to/MiniClaude/cli"]
    }
  }
}
