calculate-metrics

Analyze code to calculate metrics like complexity, maintainability, and lines of code for quality assessment and improvement.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
repositoryUrlNoURL of the repository to analyze (e.g., 'https://github.com/username/repo')
filePathNoPath to the file within the repository (e.g., 'src/main.ts')
fileContentNoSource code content to analyze directly instead of from a repository
languageNoProgramming language of the code (e.g., 'javascript', 'python', 'typescript', 'rust')
metricsNoSpecific metrics to calculate, such as 'complexity', 'linesOfCode', 'maintainability', 'functions', 'classes'

Implementation Reference

  • Registration of the 'calculate-metrics' MCP tool, including input schema (Zod) and inline handler function that delegates to getMetrics and formats the MCP response.
    server.tool( "calculate-metrics", { repositoryUrl: z.string().optional().describe("URL of the repository to analyze (e.g., 'https://github.com/username/repo')"), filePath: z.string().optional().describe("Path to the file within the repository (e.g., 'src/main.ts')"), fileContent: z.string().optional().describe("Source code content to analyze directly instead of from a repository"), language: z.string().optional().describe("Programming language of the code (e.g., 'javascript', 'python', 'typescript', 'rust')"), metrics: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe("Specific metrics to calculate, such as 'complexity', 'linesOfCode', 'maintainability', 'functions', 'classes'") }, async ({ repositoryUrl, filePath, fileContent, language, metrics }) => { try { const results = await getMetrics({ repositoryUrl, filePath, fileContent, language, metrics: metrics || ["complexity", "linesOfCode", "maintainability"] }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(results, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error calculating metrics: ${(error as Error).message}` }], isError: true }; } } );
  • getMetrics helper function called by the tool handler. Handles caching, repository/file analysis orchestration, reads code, and delegates to calculateMetrics.
    export async function getMetrics(options: { repositoryUrl?: string; filePath?: string; fileContent?: string; language?: string; metrics?: string[]; analysisId?: string; type?: string; }): Promise<any> { const { repositoryUrl, filePath, fileContent, language, metrics, analysisId, type } = options; // If analysisId is provided, retrieve from cache if (analysisId) { const cachedAnalysis = analysisCache.get(analysisId); if (!cachedAnalysis) { throw new Error(`Analysis not found: ${analysisId}`); } if (type) { return cachedAnalysis[type] || {}; } return cachedAnalysis; } // Otherwise perform new analysis if (repositoryUrl) { const repoPath = await getRepository(repositoryUrl); if (filePath) { // Analyze specific file const fullPath = path.join(repoPath, filePath); const code = fs.readFileSync(fullPath, 'utf8'); return calculateMetrics(code, language, metrics); } else { // Analyze entire repository const files = listFiles(repoPath); const allMetrics: Record<string, any> = {}; for (const file of files) { const fullPath = path.join(repoPath, file); const code = fs.readFileSync(fullPath, 'utf8'); allMetrics[file] = calculateMetrics(code, path.extname(file).slice(1), metrics); } return allMetrics; } } else if (fileContent) { // Analyze provided code content return calculateMetrics(fileContent, language, metrics); } else { throw new Error("Either repositoryUrl, filePath, or fileContent must be provided"); } }
  • Core calculateMetrics function implementing the metric computations: linesOfCode, complexity (cyclomatic-like), maintainability score.
    function calculateMetrics(code: string, language?: string, metricTypes?: string[]): Record<string, any> { const result: Record<string, any> = {}; if (!metricTypes || metricTypes.includes('linesOfCode')) { result.linesOfCode = code.split('\n').length; } if (!metricTypes || metricTypes.includes('complexity')) { // Simple complexity heuristic (would be replaced with actual analysis) const decisions = (code.match(/if|else|for|while|switch|case|try|catch/g) || []).length; result.complexity = decisions; } if (!metricTypes || metricTypes.includes('maintainability')) { // Simple maintainability heuristic const commentLines = (code.match(/\/\/.*$|\/*[\s\S]*?\*\//gm) || []).length; const codeLines = code.split('\n').length; // Calculate a simple maintainability index (higher is better) const commentRatio = commentLines / codeLines; const complexity = result.complexity || 0; result.maintainability = Math.max(0, 100 - (complexity * 0.25) + (commentRatio * 20)); } return result; }
