C++ Style Guide MCP Server

Enforce consistent C++ style and best practices across your codebase. Analyze naming conventions, memory safety, and const correctness, and get actionable modernization suggestions up to C++23. Accelerate reviews with ready-made prompts and quick access to curated guidelines.

Tools

Tool	Description
check_naming	Validate C++ identifiers (variables, classes, functions, etc.) against naming conventions
check_include_guard	Verify header file include guards or #pragma once usage
analyze_memory_safety	Detect memory leaks, dangling pointers, and unsafe memory patterns
suggest_modern_cpp	Get modernization suggestions targeting C++11 through C++23
check_const_correctness	Find missing const qualifiers on member functions, parameters, and variables

Resources

URI	Description
cpp-style://naming/{category}	Naming convention reference (variable, class, function, namespace, …)
cpp-style://best-practices/{topic}	Best practice guides (memory, exceptions, templates, concurrency, …)
cpp-style://standard/{version}	C++ standard feature docs (cpp11 – cpp23)
cpp-style://examples/{pattern}	Design pattern examples (RAII, Pimpl, Factory, Observer, …)

Prompts

Prompt	Description
code_review	Code review template (general / performance / safety / readability / modern)
refactor_suggestion	Refactoring guide targeting a specific C++ standard

Usage

Connect via Smithery (recommended)

Local installation

git clone https://github.com/SongJiangzhou/cpp_guidelines_mcp.git
cd cpp_guidelines_mcp
uv sync
uv run mcp run cpp_style_server.py

Add to your MCP client config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cpp-style": {
      "command": "uv",
      "args": ["run", "mcp", "run", "cpp_style_server.py"],
      "cwd": "/path/to/cpp_guidelines_mcp"
    }
  }
}

Examples

# Check a variable name
check_naming("myVariable", "variable")

# Analyze memory safety
analyze_memory_safety("void f(int* p) { delete p; p->run(); }")

# Modernize code to C++17
suggest_modern_cpp("for (int i=0; i<v.size(); i++) {...}", "cpp17")

# Check const correctness
check_const_correctness("class Foo { int getValue() { return x; } int x; };")
