The Smart Tree team recommends this progression:
- Start with
quick_tree- 3-level overview with 10x compression - Use
project_overview- Understand project type and structure - Apply specialized tools - Based on your specific needs
Always start here! Gets you a compressed overview in milliseconds.
Example:
mcp.callTool('quick_tree', {
path: '/home/hue/source/i1/smart-tree',
depth: 2
})Output:

END_SUMMARY_AI
10x compression achieved! From 18.57 MiB to compact summary.
Supports all 25 output formats with configurable options.
Example with Quantum-Semantic Mode:
mcp.callTool('analyze_directory', {
path: '/project',
mode: 'quantum-semantic',
max_depth: 0 // Auto-depth selection
})Now includes actual line content, not just file paths!
Example:
mcp.callTool('search_in_files', {
path: '/home/hue/source/i1/smart-tree',
keyword: 'TODO',
include_content: true,
max_matches_per_file: 3
})Output Sample:
{
"files_with_matches": 54,
"results": [{
"path": "/src/main.rs",
"matches": 2,
"lines": [{
"line_number": 241,
"column": 100,
"content": "/// Best used with `--type` to limit search (e.g., `--type rs --search \"TODO\"`)."
}]
}]
}Finds all code files by programming language.
Example:
mcp.callTool('find_code_files', {
path: '/home/hue/source/i1/smart-tree',
languages: ['rust', 'python']
})Results: Found 166 files (130 Rust, 14 Python)
Groups files by conceptual similarity using Omni's wave algorithms.
Example:
mcp.callTool('semantic_analysis', {
path: '/home/hue/source/i1/smart-tree/src',
show_wave_signatures: false
})Output:

})| Format | Size Reduction | Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| Classic | Baseline | Human reading |
| AI Mode | 5x | General AI consumption |
| Summary-AI | 10x | Large codebases |
| Quantum | 95x | Binary analysis |
| Quantum-Semantic | 99x | Deep code understanding |
- Quick Tree: <50ms for 100k files
- Search: ~1GB/second with ripgrep
- Semantic Analysis: ~500 files/second
- Always start with
quick_tree- It's optimized for initial exploration - Use
summary-aifor API calls - 10x compression saves tokens - Try
quantum-semanticmode - Amazing for understanding code structure - Cache is your friend - Repeated calls are instant
- Batch similar searches - Better compression with context
- Files understood as waves in an information ocean
- Constructive interference for better compression
- Semantic preservation through quantum encoding
Smart Tree adapts based on:
- Current work context (coding, debugging, exploring)
- File types being analyzed
- Previous operations in session
- Partnership memory patterns
// 1. Quick overview
const overview = await mcp.callTool('quick_tree', { path: '.' });
// 2. Deeper understanding
const project = await mcp.callTool('project_overview', { path: '.' });
// 3. Find what you need
const todos = await mcp.callTool('search_in_files', {
path: '.',
keyword: 'TODO'
});
// 4. Semantic understanding
const semantic = await mcp.callTool('semantic_analysis', {
path: './src'
});Smart Tree's MCP tools represent a paradigm shift in how AI assistants interact with codebases. By combining:
- Extreme compression (up to 99% reduction)
- Semantic understanding (wave-based analysis)
- Partnership memory (collaborative development)
- Token efficiency (smart editing)
We've created not just tools, but a complete ecosystem for AI-assisted development.
