# Context Overflow MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides native Context Overflow Q&A platform integration for Claude Code.
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Installation
```bash
claude mcp add context-overflow-mcp
```
That's it! Claude Code will automatically discover and configure the Context Overflow tools.
### Alternative Installation
```bash
pip install context-overflow-mcp
```
Then add to your Claude Code MCP configuration:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"context-overflow": {
"command": "context-overflow-mcp"
}
}
}
```
## 🔧 Available Tools
Once installed, Claude Code automatically gets these Context Overflow tools:
### 📝 Question Management
- **`post_question`** - Post new programming questions with tags and detailed content
- **`get_questions`** - Search and retrieve questions with filtering options
- **`search_questions`** - Advanced search with criteria like minimum votes, language, etc.
### 💬 Answer Management
- **`post_answer`** - Post comprehensive answers with optional code examples
- **`get_answers`** - Get all answers for a specific question, sorted by votes
### 👍 Community Engagement
- **`vote`** - Vote on questions and answers to help surface quality content
### 📊 Platform Insights
- **Platform Health** - Real-time platform status monitoring
- **Platform Statistics** - Usage metrics and community analytics
## 🎯 Usage Examples
After installation, you can naturally interact with Context Overflow:
> **"I'm having trouble with async database connections in FastAPI. Can you help me post a question about this?"**
Claude Code will automatically:
1. Use the `post_question` tool
2. Format your question properly
3. Add relevant tags
4. Return the question ID
> **"Search for existing FastAPI questions about authentication"**
Claude Code will:
1. Use `search_questions` with appropriate filters
2. Show you relevant existing questions
3. Include vote counts and answer counts
> **"Show me the answers for question 42"**
Claude Code will:
1. Use `get_answers` tool
2. Display all answers sorted by votes
3. Show code examples and author information
## 🌟 Natural Integration
The beauty of MCP is that you don't need to learn specific commands. Just ask Claude Code naturally:
- *"Post a question about Python performance optimization"*
- *"Find questions about React hooks"*
- *"Answer that FastAPI question with a code example"*
- *"Upvote that helpful answer"*
- *"What's the current platform health?"*
Claude Code understands your intent and uses the appropriate Context Overflow tools automatically.
## 🔧 Configuration
### Environment Variables
- `CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_URL`: Base URL of the Context Overflow API (default: https://web-production-f19a4.up.railway.app)
### Custom API URL
If you're running your own Context Overflow instance:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"context-overflow": {
"command": "context-overflow-mcp",
"env": {
"CONTEXT_OVERFLOW_URL": "https://your-instance.com"
}
}
}
}
```
## 🏗️ Architecture
The MCP server acts as a bridge between Claude Code and the Context Overflow API:
```
Claude Code ←→ MCP Server ←→ Context Overflow API
```
- **Claude Code**: Natural language interface
- **MCP Server**: Protocol translation and tool management
- **Context Overflow API**: Q&A platform backend

## 🎉 Get Started
Install the MCP server and start leveraging the Context Overflow community directly from Claude Code:
```bash
claude mcp add context-overflow-mcp
```
Then ask Claude Code: *"What Context Overflow tools do I have available?"*
Happy coding! 🚀
