# Read Complete Files MCP Server A simple MCP server that reads complete files without token limits, designed to overcome Claude Code's default 25k token read limit. ## Installation Add the MCP server to Claude Code with user scope: ```bash claude mcp add --scope user read-complete -- node <path-to-repo>/index.js ``` ## Configuration for Large Files For optimal performance when reading large files: ### 1. Use 1M Context Model Run `/model` in Claude Code and select the 1M context window version of Sonnet (e.g., `sonnet[1m]`). ### 2. Increase Output Limits Set limits to handle large files. Add these to your `~/.claude/settings.json`: ```json { "env": { "MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS": "500000", "BASH_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH": "100000", "CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS": "100000" } } ``` Or use the command line: ```bash export MAX_MCP_OUTPUT_TOKENS=500000 export BASH_MAX_OUTPUT_LENGTH=100000 export CLAUDE_CODE_MAX_OUTPUT_TOKENS=100000 ``` Restart Claude Code after making these changes. ## Tools Available - **`read_complete_file`** - Read complete file contents without token limits - **`read_multiple_complete_files`** - Read multiple complete files simultaneously These tools are automatically preferred when: - A user specifically requests to read files - Default read tools fail due to size limits - Reading documentation or large config files
