- [Cursor](https://cursor.sh)

## Features

- Deep directory tree visualization
- Configurable depth-based tree generation
- Smart pattern-based file/directory exclusion
- Clean and readable tree output format
- Real-time directory structure updates
- Targeted directory analysis

**DEMO:**

## Quick Start

### Prerequisites

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) (v18 or higher)

### Smithery Installation

The easiest way to get started is using [Smithery](https://smithery.ai/server/deep-directory-tree-mcp):

```bash
npx -y @smithery/cli install @andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp --client cursor
```

### Manual Installation

#### Cursor IDE Setup

1. Open Cursor Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server
2. Configure with these settings:

   ```json
   {
     "deep-directory-tree": {
       "command": "npx",
       "args": ["-y", "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"]
     }
   }
   ```

#### Claude Desktop Setup

Add the following to your MCP configuration:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "deep-directory-tree": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@andredezzy/deep-directory-tree-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
```

## Usage

Common commands for AI assistants:

- "Show me the directory structure"
- "Visualize project tree up to depth 4"
- "Show files excluding test directories"
