About jinni

Jinni is a tool to efficiently provide Large Language Models the context of your projects. It gives a consolidated view of relevant project files, overcoming the limitations and inefficiencies of reading files one by one. Each file's content is preceded by a simple header indicating its path:

Features

  • Efficient Context Gathering: Reads and concatenates relevant project files in one operation.

  • Intelligent Filtering (Gitignore-Style Inclusion):

  • Customizable Configuration (.contextfiles / Overrides):

  • Large Context Handling: Aborts with a DetailedContextSizeError if the total size of included files exceeds a configurable limit (default: 100MB). The error message includes a list of the 10 largest…

  • Metadata Headers: Output includes a path header for each included file (e.g., ````path=src/app.py). This can be disabled with list_only`.

  • Encoding Handling: Attempts multiple common text encodings (UTF-8, Latin-1, etc.).

  • List Only Mode: Option to only list the relative paths of files that would be included, without their content.

Tools (2)

  • Setup

    Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop's claude_desktop_config.json) to run the jinni server via uvx.

  • Invocation

    When interacting with your LLM via the MCP client, the model can invoke the read_context tool.
