Hands-Free Installation

Copy and run the command below in your terminal. It will install the TIGCode engine, securely save your key, and automatically inject the MCP server into your Claude Desktop and Claude Code configurations.

Manual Configuration (Optional)

If you prefer not to use the automated installer, you can manually add the following block to your claude_desktop_config.json:

"mcpServers": {
  "teixido": {
    "command": "teixido-mcp",
    "args": []
  }
}

Then set your environment variable: TIGCODE_LICENSE_KEY=...

📘 Quick Start Guide

1. What is TIGCode?

TIGCode solves the "context window" problem for Large Language Models. Instead of dumping raw files into Claude, the TIG engine locally parses your codebase, calculates structural dependencies, and extracts high-density Signature Skeletons. Claude gets 100% of the architectural context using a fraction of the tokens.

2. How to use it in Claude Desktop

Once the MCP server is installed (see above), Claude automatically has access to TIGCode. Simply open a chat with Claude and ask it to analyze your project. Try prompts like:

• "Use TIGCode to analyze my current project directory."
• "Map out the authentication flow using the code manifold tool."
• "What is the blast radius if I change the verify_token function?"

3. Privacy & Security

Your source code never leaves your computer. The local MCP server extracts the metadata, calculates the topological strain locally (or via the SaaS endpoint depending on tier), and returns the context directly to your local Claude instance.
