Code Analysis MCP Server
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI models to understand and analyze codebases through natural language conversations.
Highlights
- Natural Code Exploration: Ask high-level questions about your codebase
- Deep Code Understanding: Extract insights about data models and system architecture
- Dynamic Analysis: Trace data flows and understand system relationships
Limitations
This tool is a simpler alternative to more sophisticated code analysis tools / copilot like Aider. While it lacks the advanced code analysis capabilities and robustness of tools like Aider, it offers a lightweight solution for codebase exploration if you already have a Claude Pro subscription. The main advantages are:
- Cost-Effective: Using your existing Claude Pro subscription means no additional API costs, unlike tools that can get expensive when analyzing large codebases
- Simple Setup: Quick to get started with minimal configuration
- Basic Analysis: Good for high-level code understanding and exploration
Note that due to its simpler approach to code analysis, it may make more errors or provide less detailed insights compared to more specialized tools.
Quick Start
- Install the server:
- Install Claude Desktop App. For more instructions on setting up an MCP Server with Claude Desktop app, see docs
- Configure the server in Claude Desktop's configuration file:
- macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
- Windows:
%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
- Restart Claude Desktop and start analyzing your code!
- Ensure the tool is correctly setup
- Clicking the tools icon should display the
code-analysistools
- Clicking the integrations button should display the
analyze_code_repositoryprompt
Example Usage
Here's how you might use the tool to understand a complex codebase:
Start by clicking on the
analyze_code_repository prompt shown below. That will guide you through the process
to initialize the repo and get started.Available Tools
initialize_repository
Initialize a code repository for analysis:
get_repo_info
Retrieve information about the initialized repository:
get_repo_structure
Examine repository file structure:
read_file
Read and analyze specific files:
Technical Details
- Default scanning depth: 3 levels
- Maximum file size: 1MB
- Maximum lines per file: 1000
- Ignores paths listed in .gitignore
- Local file system access only
- Validates file paths to prevent directory traversal
