Parse and understand source code in 306 languages, from the language you already work in — with one dependency and no grammars to compile.
What and Why?
Add one package and you can parse any of 306 languages, walk their syntax trees, pull out functions, classes, imports, and symbols, and split code into chunks an LLM can use. It works the same whether you call it from Python, Node.js, Go, Java, C#, Ruby, PHP, Elixir, and eight more, or from the shell via the CLI and MCP server.
tree-sitter gives fast, incremental parsers for individual languages, but wiring up hundreds of grammars — and reaching them from a non-C ecosystem — is the hard part. tree-sitter-language-pack does that work for you: it bundles the most comprehensive set of grammars available behind a single API, ships native bindings for 15 languages, and downloads each parser on first use so the install stays small.
Reach for it whenever you need to process, inspect, or analyze code — building developer tooling, feeding a RAG pipeline, or giving an agent structural understanding of a codebase.
Features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 306 languages | Pre-compiled parsers at ABI 14 (backwards compatible with tree-sitter 0.21–0.26) |
| Code intelligence | Extract functions, classes, imports, docstrings, and symbols from source |
| Data extraction | Hierarchical key-value trees from 17 config/data formats (JSON, YAML, TOML, XML, CSV, …) |
| Host-native language API | get_language() returns native Language objects in Python, Node.js, Go, Java, C#, Kotlin, Swift, Zig, and C |
| On-demand downloads | Parsers are fetched on first use and cached locally for fast, offline reuse |
| Prefetch & warming | prefetch() loads (and downloads) every grammar you need up front, so hot loops only parse |
| Bundled queries | highlights, injections, locals, tags, indents, and folds .scm queries per language, with a process-wide compiled-query cache (Rust) |
| Selective installation | Download only the languages you need; unused parsers are never downloaded |
| Polyglot bindings | Native bindings across 15 languages, including a C ABI for everything else |
| CLI & MCP server | ts-pack download to pre-fetch parsers; MCP integration for AI agents |
Supported Languages
This pack includes 306 languages. See the full language list for every supported grammar with extensions and repository links.
Grammars & Bundled Queries
Each grammar bundles a subset of the six standard tree-sitter query types. The table below shows which .scm queries ship with every grammar.

Quick Start
Language Packages
Go
go get github.com/xberg-io/tree-sitter-language-pack/packages/go
See Go README for full documentation.
Java
Available on Maven Central as io.xberg.treesitterlanguagepack:tree-sitter-language-pack. See Java README for the dependency snippet and current version.
Elixir
Add {:tree_sitter_language_pack, "~> 1.0"} to your mix.exs dependencies. See Elixir README for full documentation.
WebAssembly
npm install @xberg-io/tree-sitter-language-pack-wasm
See WebAssembly README for full documentation.
Kotlin (Android)
Available on Maven Central as io.xberg.tslp.android:tree-sitter-language-pack-android. See Kotlin Android README for the dependency snippet and current version.
Swift
Available via Swift Package Manager. See Swift README for the SwiftPM package URL and current version.
C/C++ (FFI)
Build from source as part of this workspace. See FFI README for full documentation.
CLI
cargo install ts-pack-cli
brew tap xberg-io/homebrew-tap
brew install xberg-io/homebrew-tap/ts-pack
Or run without a persistent install (the proxy package fetches the native binary):
npx @xberg-io/ts-pack-cli parse <file>
uvx --from ts-pack-cli ts-pack parse <file>
See CLI README for full documentation.
MCP Server
The CLI bundles an MCP server for integration with AI agents. Start it with:
ts-pack mcp
The server runs over stdio by default. For HTTP transport:
ts-pack mcp --transport http --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8011
Register with Claude Code:
claude mcp add ts-pack -- ts-pack mcp
Or add to your Claude Desktop config at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ts-pack": {
"command": "ts-pack",
"args": ["mcp"]
}
}
}
The MCP server exposes 8 tools: parse, process, detect_language, list_languages, info, download, cache_dir, and clean_cache. It also provides resources for the available language catalog and a prompt for code analysis.
The marketplace plugin from xberg-io/plugins auto-registers the server — see AI Coding Assistants below to install it instead of manual registration.
For detailed setup, transport options, and tool reference, see the MCP Server guide.
AI Coding Assistants
Install the tree-sitter-language-pack plugin from the xberg-io/plugins marketplace. It ships the tree-sitter-language-pack agent skills (parse and extract code intelligence from 306 languages) and works with every major coding agent — expand your harness below.
