AI awareness of project/source files via: MCP Server for project files, source tree, sources files, maybe even units on search path

I tried: ollama run devstral:latest it works a bit faster than my previous attempt. (It still shows "wait for loading" but it's faster)

Anyway to make the AI aware of project files is essential to do bigger AI operations, manipulate many files.

A way to make this possible would be to implement a MCP server which interacts with the LLM model (such as offline ollama which supports MCP))

The MCP server would have to interact with the Delphi IDE, maybe via Delphi API Tools and serve back information to ollama which will feed it back into the model/ai so that the AI can get an understanding of the project files/source tree maybe even search path and can then retrieve source files and analyze them, eventually edit/modify/manipulate them. Like an AI agent...

To help with the implementation of this, there is some delphi source code available:
