mcp-repo-mapper

by LovRanRan

mcp-repo-mapper

mcp-repo-mapper is a FastMCP server for deterministic repository structure mapping. It scans a local codebase and exposes file structure, language counts, Python import dependencies, circular dependency detection, framework detection, entry point candidates, and a cached repo structure resource.

The server does not call an LLM and does not execute user code. It is intended as a grounded structure tool for codebase onboarding agents such as wayfinder.

Codebase Onboarding Stack

mcp-repo-mapper is the structure layer in a three-server MCP tool stack for Project 6 wayfinder, a codebase onboarding agent.

  • mcp-repo-mapper maps repository structure, languages, entry points, framework evidence, and Python dependency edges.

  • mcp-ast-explorer provides symbol-grounded Python definition, signature, reference, call-chain, and class-hierarchy lookups.

  • mcp-test-runner runs local pytest/Jest checks and coverage summaries so agent claims can be verified against execution.

In wayfinder, this server feeds the architecture-mapping step before semantic explanation or test verification begins.

Features

  • scan_repo(path) returns a typed repo scan with files, language breakdown, entry points, Python dependency graph, and detected frameworks.

  • find_circular_deps(path) returns circular dependencies from the static dependency graph.

  • language_breakdown(path) returns language counts by file count and bytes.

  • detect_framework(path) detects FastAPI, Flask, Django, Express, and Spring using registry-based markers.

  • find_entry_points(path) returns ranked entry point candidates such as Python mains, FastAPI apps, package start scripts, Dockerfiles, and Node indexes.

  • repo-structure://{url_hash} returns a cached JSON scan result after a tool call has populated the cache.

Install

uv sync --extra dev

Run the server locally:

uv run mcp-repo-mapper

Development

uv run ruff check .
uv run mypy
uv run pytest

Resource Flow

Resource reads use a cache populated by tool calls:

  1. Call scan_repo(path) or another scan-backed tool.

  2. Compute the repo hash with the same path.

  3. Read repo-structure://{url_hash}.

The public resource uses repo-structure://... because URL schemes cannot contain underscores.

Scope And Limitations

  • Dependency graph support is currently Python-only and based on static ast parsing.

  • Import graph resolution only records modules that exist inside the scanned repo.

  • Framework detection is heuristic marker matching, not a full build-system analysis.

  • The resource cache is in-memory and process-local.

  • The server scans local filesystem paths only.

TDQS

D1/5.0
Behavior1/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Tool has no description.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness1/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Tool has no description.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness1/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Tool has no description.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters1/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Tool has no description.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose1/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

Tool has no description.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines1/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

Tool has no description.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.

D1.7/5.0

Scored across 6 tools

Disambiguation2/5

All tool names relate to repository analysis, but without descriptions, the overlap is unclear. Tools like scan_repo could encompass others, and health is generic, making it hard for an agent to distinguish precise purposes.

Naming Consistency4/5

Most tools follow a verb_noun snake_case pattern (e.g., language_breakdown, detect_framework). The single exception is 'health', which is just a noun, causing a minor inconsistency.

Tool Count4/5

Six tools is a reasonable count for a repository analysis server. It covers multiple analytical aspects without being overly numerous or too sparse.

Completeness3/5

The tool set covers common analysis tasks like language detection, entry points, circular dependencies, and health. However, it may miss basic repository information such as file listing or size, leaving potential gaps.
