npm install
npm run build
Add to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop):
{
"mcpServers": {
"code-analysis": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/code-analysis-context-mcp/dist/index.js"]
}
}
}
Generate comprehensive architectural overview:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"depth": "detailed",
"analyzeTypes": ["components", "hooks", "navigation"],
"generateDiagrams": true,
"includeMetrics": true,
"includeDetailedMetrics": true, // Include per-file metrics
"minComplexity": 15, // Only show files with complexity >= 15
"maxDetailedFiles": 20 // Limit to top 20 most complex files
}
New Features:
- Per-file metrics: Set
includeDetailedMetrics: true
to get complexity, lines, imports/exports, and patterns - Auto-optimization: For projects >100 files, automatically filters to complexity ≥ 10 (top 50 files) to reduce response size
- Complexity filtering: Use
minComplexity
to only show files above a threshold (e.g., 15 for refactoring candidates) - Result limiting: Use
maxDetailedFiles
to limit response size for large projects (e.g., top 20 most complex) - Automatic framework globs: Supports both root-level and
src/
directory structures for all frameworks - Files automatically sorted by complexity (most complex first)
Response Size Optimization:
- Small projects (<100 files): Returns all files (~5-10k tokens)
- Large projects (>100 files): Auto-filters to complexity ≥ 10, top 50 files (~3-5k tokens) ⭐
- Override with explicit
minComplexity: 0
ormaxDetailedFiles: 999
if you need all files
LLM Memory Integration 🧠:
Store analysis results in the llm_memory MCP for persistent project knowledge:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"includeDetailedMetrics": true,
"generateMemorySuggestions": true // Generate memory suggestions
}
This returns structured memorySuggestions
that Claude Code can store across different scopes:
Example Output:
{
"memorySuggestions": [
{
"scope": "committed",
"type": "insight",
"title": "High Complexity Files in MyProject",
"text": "Critical refactoring targets:\n- src/services/Tracking.ts (complexity: 161, 450 lines)\n- src/components/Dashboard.tsx (complexity: 87, 324 lines)\n\nThese files exceed complexity threshold of 20...",
"tags": ["complexity", "refactoring", "technical-debt", "nuxt3"],
"files": ["src/services/Tracking.ts", "src/components/Dashboard.tsx"],
"confidence": 0.9
},
{
"scope": "local",
"type": "pattern",
"title": "MyProject Architecture Pattern",
"text": "Framework: nuxt3\nState Management: pinia\nArchitecture Layers: Pages, Components, Composables, Stores, Server\n\nThis project follows a modular structure with 45 components.",
"tags": ["architecture", "nuxt3", "overview"],
"confidence": 0.95
},
{
"scope": "global",
"type": "pattern",
"title": "Nuxt 3 Auto-Import Pattern",
"text": "Nuxt 3 projects auto-import composables and components:\n- Composables from composables/ directory\n- Components from components/ directory\n- No explicit imports needed",
"tags": ["nuxt3", "composables", "auto-import", "pattern"],
"confidence": 0.85
}
]
}
Memory Scopes:
- global: Reusable knowledge across all projects (framework patterns, best practices)
- local: Current session context (architecture overview, metrics)
- committed: Project-persistent, team-visible (high-complexity files, stores config)
Usage with llm_memory MCP:
After receiving memory suggestions, Claude Code can store them:
// Claude Code automatically calls llm_memory MCP for each suggestion
memory_upsert({
"scope": "committed",
"type": "insight",
"title": "High Complexity Files in MyProject",
"text": "Critical refactoring targets...",
"tags": ["complexity", "refactoring", "technical-debt", "nuxt3"],
"files": ["src/services/Tracking.ts"],
"confidence": 0.9
})
Benefits:
- 📝 Persistent project knowledge survives conversation compacting
- 🎯 Critical insights available across sessions (high-complexity files, architecture decisions)
- 🌍 Reusable patterns stored globally (framework best practices)
- 👥 Team-visible technical debt tracking (committed scope)
Visualize and analyze module dependencies:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"detectCircular": true,
"generateDiagram": true
}
Detect framework-specific patterns:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"patternTypes": ["hooks", "composables", "pinia-stores"],
"compareWithBestPractices": true
}
Identify untested code:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"coverageReportPath": "coverage/coverage-summary.json",
"framework": "vitest",
"suggestTests": true
}
Validate coding conventions:
{
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"autodetectConventions": true
}
Build optimal AI context:
{
"task": "Add a new feature with authentication",
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"maxTokens": 50000,
"includeTypes": ["relevant-files", "architecture", "conventions"]
}
When you use includeDetailedMetrics: true
in the architecture analysis, you'll receive per-file metrics like this:
{
"metrics": {
"totalFiles": 45,
"totalLines": 5234,
"avgComplexity": 12.5,
"maxComplexity": 87,
"detailedMetrics": [
{
"path": "src/components/Dashboard.tsx",
"lines": 324,
"complexity": 87,
"exports": ["Dashboard", "useDashboardData"],
"imports": 15,
"patterns": {
"isReact": true,
"isVue": false,
"hasHooks": true,
"hasComposables": false
}
},
{
"path": "src/utils/api-client.ts",
"lines": 156,
"complexity": 45,
"exports": ["fetchData", "postData", "ApiClient"],
"imports": 8,
"patterns": {
"isReact": false,
"isVue": false,
"hasHooks": false,
"hasComposables": false
}
}
]
}
}
Key Benefits:
- Identify complexity hotspots: Files are sorted by complexity (highest first)
- Guide refactoring: Target files with high complexity for improvement
- Track technical debt: Monitor complexity trends over time
- Better code reviews: Focus on files with highest complexity scores
Ask Claude Code: "Find the most complex files in my project that need refactoring"
Optimized approach (filters at source, reduces response size):
code_analyze_architecture({
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"includeDetailedMetrics": true,
"minComplexity": 15, // Only files with complexity >= 15
"maxDetailedFiles": 20 // Top 20 most complex files
})
Previous approach (returns all files, larger response):
code_analyze_architecture({
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"includeDetailedMetrics": true
// Claude then filters the results manually
})
Example workflow:
- Identify files with cyclomatic complexity > 50
- Break down complex functions into smaller units
- Extract reusable logic into hooks/composables
- Re-run analysis to verify improvement
Ask Claude Code: "Analyze the architecture of this project and explain the key components"
The tool provides:
- Complete layer architecture (Pages, Components, Composables, Stores, Server)
- State management patterns (Pinia, Context API, etc.)
- Navigation structure (file-based routing, React Navigation)
- Key entry points and core modules
- Framework-specific recommendations
Ask Claude Code: "Which files in my project have high complexity but no tests?"
Combine architecture analysis with coverage analysis:
// Step 1: Get complexity metrics
code_analyze_architecture({
"includeDetailedMetrics": true
})
// Step 2: Analyze test coverage
code_analyze_coverage_gaps({
"coverageReportPath": "coverage/coverage-summary.json",
"priority": "high"
})
// Claude will correlate high complexity files with missing tests
Priority formula: Files with complexity > 30 and 0% test coverage should be prioritized.
Ask Claude Code: "Show me files with the most dependencies and check for circular dependencies"
code_analyze_dependency_graph({
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"detectCircular": true,
"calculateMetrics": true,
"generateDiagram": true
})
What you'll learn:
- Files with highest in-degree (heavily imported) → Core utilities
- Files with highest out-degree (many imports) → Potential for refactoring
- Circular dependencies → Architecture issues to fix
- Coupling metrics → Modularity assessment
Ask Claude Code: "Check if my project follows Nuxt 3 naming conventions"
code_validate_conventions({
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"autodetectConventions": true
})
Checks for:
- Component naming (PascalCase)
- Composables (use* prefix for Nuxt/Vue)
- File structure (components/ vs screens/)
- Import patterns (relative vs absolute)
Ask Claude Code: "I want to add authentication to my app. Give me the relevant context"
code_generate_context_pack({
"task": "Add authentication with JWT tokens",
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"maxTokens": 50000,
"includeTypes": ["relevant-files", "architecture", "patterns", "conventions"]
})
Result: Optimized context pack with:
- Relevant existing auth-related files
- Project architecture overview
- State management patterns in use
- API client structure
- Routing patterns
Setup a baseline:
# Run analysis and save results
code_analyze_architecture > analysis-baseline.json
Monthly review:
# Compare current metrics with baseline
code_analyze_architecture > analysis-current.json
# Use Claude to compare: "Compare these two analyses and show me complexity trends"
Metrics to track:
- Average complexity per file
- Number of files with complexity > 50
- Total lines of code
- Test coverage percentage
- Number of circular dependencies
Ask Claude Code: "Analyze the files I just changed and identify any complexity or pattern issues"
// Analyze specific files from git diff
code_analyze_architecture({
"includeGlobs": ["src/components/Dashboard.tsx", "src/hooks/useAuth.ts"],
"includeDetailedMetrics": true
})
Automated checks:
- Complexity increase > 20 points → Review needed
- New file complexity > 50 → Refactor before commit
- Missing tests for complex logic → Add tests
Ask Claude Code: "Analyze my project and store key insights in memory for future sessions"
code_analyze_architecture({
"projectPath": "/path/to/project",
"includeDetailedMetrics": true,
"generateMemorySuggestions": true
})
What gets stored:
-
High-Complexity Files (committed scope):
- Files with complexity ≥ 20 that need refactoring
- Visible to all team members
- Survives conversation resets
-
Architecture Overview (local scope):
- Framework type, state management pattern
- Layer architecture
- Component counts
-
Framework Patterns (global scope):
- Reusable knowledge (e.g., Nuxt3 auto-imports)
- Available across all projects
-
State Management Config (committed scope):
- Pinia/Redux store locations
- Store names and paths
-
Project Metrics (local scope):
- Total files, lines, complexity stats
- Timestamped for trend tracking
Workflow Example:
# Initial analysis - Claude stores results in memory
"Analyze my project and remember key insights"
# → Generates memorySuggestions
# → Claude automatically calls llm_memory MCP
# Days later, new conversation
"What are the most complex files in my project?"
# → Claude retrieves from llm_memory
# → No need to re-analyze entire project
# Before refactoring
"What's the current complexity of Tracking.ts?"
# → Instant answer from stored metrics
# After refactoring
"Update the complexity metrics for Tracking.ts"
# → Re-analyze specific file
# → Update memory with new metrics
Benefits:
- 💾 Persistent Context: Insights survive conversation compacting
- ⚡ Instant Retrieval: No need to re-analyze project for known facts
- 👥 Team Knowledge: Committed scope visible across team members
- 📈 Trend Tracking: Compare metrics over time from stored snapshots
