Usage

As an MCP Server

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"]
    }
  }
}

Available Tools

1. code_analyze_architecture

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 or maxDetailedFiles: 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)

2. code_analyze_dependency_graph

Visualize and analyze module dependencies:

{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "detectCircular": true,
  "generateDiagram": true
}

3. code_analyze_patterns

Detect framework-specific patterns:

{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "patternTypes": ["hooks", "composables", "pinia-stores"],
  "compareWithBestPractices": true
}

4. code_analyze_coverage_gaps

Identify untested code:

{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "coverageReportPath": "coverage/coverage-summary.json",
  "framework": "vitest",
  "suggestTests": true
}

5. code_validate_conventions

Validate coding conventions:

{
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "autodetectConventions": true
}

6. code_generate_context_pack

Build optimal AI context:

{
  "task": "Add a new feature with authentication",
  "projectPath": "/path/to/project",
  "maxTokens": 50000,
  "includeTypes": ["relevant-files", "architecture", "conventions"]
}

Example: Detailed Metrics Output

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

Common Use Cases

1. Find High Complexity Files for Refactoring

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:

  1. Identify files with cyclomatic complexity > 50
  2. Break down complex functions into smaller units
  3. Extract reusable logic into hooks/composables
  4. Re-run analysis to verify improvement

2. Onboarding New Team Members

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

3. Identify Files Needing Tests

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.

4. Analyze Dependencies and Coupling

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

5. Validate Project Conventions

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)

6. Generate Context for AI-Assisted Development

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

7. Track Technical Debt Over Time

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

8. Pre-Commit Code Review

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

9. Store Analysis in LLM Memory for Persistent Context

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:

  1. High-Complexity Files (committed scope):

    • Files with complexity ≥ 20 that need refactoring
    • Visible to all team members
    • Survives conversation resets
  2. Architecture Overview (local scope):

    • Framework type, state management pattern
    • Layer architecture
    • Component counts
  3. Framework Patterns (global scope):

    • Reusable knowledge (e.g., Nuxt3 auto-imports)
    • Available across all projects
  4. State Management Config (committed scope):

    • Pinia/Redux store locations
    • Store names and paths
  5. 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
