Code Executor MCP
One MCP to orchestrate them all. Progressive disclosure pattern - 98% token savings vs exposing all tools.
Based on Anthropic's Code Execution with MCPBuilt for Claude Code. Untested on other MCP clients.
Problem
47 MCP tools = 141k tokens just for schemas. Context exhausted before you start working.
Solution
Disable all MCPs. Enable only code-executor.
2 tools (executeTypescript, executePython) access all other MCPs on-demand:
// Claude writes this to access zen MCP
const result = await callMCPTool('mcp__zen__codereview', {...});
Result: 47 tools → 2 tools = 141k tokens → 1.6k tokens (98% reduction)
When to Use
✅ Use if:
- 3+ MCP servers (context bloat problem)
- Mix of local + remote + APIs
- Need audit logs, allowlisting, rate limiting
❌ Skip if:
- 1-2 MCPs (just enable them directly)
- Simple filesystem/git ops (use Node.js directly)
Wrappers (Optional)
Auto-discover tool parameters from MCP schemas:
npm run generate-wrappers # Queries MCPs, generates ~/.code-executor/wrappers/*.ts
// Before: Blind guessing
await callMCPTool('mcp__zen__thinkdeep', {...}); // What params?
// After: TypeScript-enforced parameters (auto-discovered from schema)
await thinkdeep(step, step_number, total_steps, ...)
Wrappers are auto-generated from tools/list schemas, not manually written.
Features
- Executors: TypeScript (Deno), Python
- Security: Sandboxed, allowlist, audit logs, rate limiting
- Config: Auto-discovery, env vars, MCP integration
- Quality: TypeScript, 105 tests, 90%+ coverage
Installation
# NPM
npm install -g code-executor-mcp
code-executor-mcp
# Or local dev
git clone https://github.com/aberemia24/code-executor-MCP.git
cd code-executor-mcp
npm install && npm run build
npm run server
# Docker (production)
docker-compose up -d
See DOCKER_TESTING.md for Docker security details.
Configuration
Add to .mcp.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"code-executor": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/code-executor-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {
"MCP_CONFIG_PATH": "/path/to/.mcp.json"
}
}
}
}
Then disable all other MCPs. Enable only code-executor.
