💬 Example Usage

Once configured as an MCP server in your LLM client, you can use natural language prompts:

Analyzing a Data Science Project

"Analyze the architecture of my pandas project and show me the complexity metrics"

This will invoke the arch tool with appropriate parameters to:

• Detect pandas framework usage

• Calculate complexity for all Python files

• Show module structure and class hierarchies

• Identify high-complexity functions needing refactoring

"Find all DataFrame operations in my project and check if they follow best practices"

This will use the patterns tool to:

• Detect DataFrame chaining, groupby, merge operations

• Compare against pandas best practices

• Suggest optimizations (e.g., vectorization instead of loops)

Finding Code Issues

"Check my project for circular dependencies and show me the dependency graph"

Uses the deps tool to:

• Build import graph using NetworkX

• Detect any circular import cycles

• Calculate coupling/cohesion metrics

• Generate Mermaid diagram of dependencies

"Which files in my project have no test coverage and are most critical to test?"

The coverage tool will:

• Parse coverage.xml or .coverage file

• Prioritize gaps based on complexity and file location

• Generate pytest test scaffolds for critical files

• Show untested functions with complexity scores

Code Quality

"Validate my project follows PEP 8 conventions and show naming violations"

The conventions tool will:

• Check snake_case, PascalCase, UPPER_SNAKE_CASE naming

• Validate import grouping and ordering

• Check for missing docstrings and type hints

• Report consistency score by category

AI-Assisted Development

"Generate a context pack for adding data validation to my pandas DataFrame processing pipeline"

The context tool will:

• Extract keywords ("data validation", "pandas", "DataFrame")

• Score files by relevance to the task

• Select most relevant files within token budget

• Format as markdown with code snippets and suggestions
