Overview

comment-stripper-mcp is a flexible MCP server designed to batch process code files and remove comments across multiple programming languages, including JavaScript, TypeScript, Vue, CSS/SCSS/LESS, HTML, Python, Java, C#, C++, Ruby, and PHP.

To use comment-stripper-mcp, clone the repository, install the dependencies, and run the server in development or production mode. You can send requests to the API to strip comments from files or directories.

  • Batch processing of individual files, directories, or raw text input - Cross-language support for various programming languages - Recursive handling of nested directories - Regex-based pattern matching for efficient comment removal - MCP-compliant API for easy integration - Comprehensive logging and error handling - Performance optimization for large files
  1. Cleaning up code before deployment by removing unnecessary comments.
  2. Preparing code for open-source contributions by stripping out comments.
  3. Automating the comment removal process in CI/CD pipelines.
