Implementation Reference
- src/tools/dependency-analysis.ts:124-134 (handler)Handler for 'find_unused_dependencies' tool: calls DependencyAnalyzer.analyzeDependencies with unused check and returns unused dependencies list and count.
case 'find_unused_dependencies': { const report = await analyzer.analyzeDependencies(projectPath, { checkUnused: true, checkOutdated: false, checkVulnerabilities: false, }); return { unused: report.unused, total: report.unused.length, }; } - Schema definition for 'find_unused_dependencies' tool, specifying input parameters like projectPath.
{ name: 'find_unused_dependencies', description: 'Find unused dependencies in project', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { projectPath: { type: 'string', description: 'Path to project root', }, }, }, }, - src/server.ts:18-25 (registration)Registration of dependencyAnalysisTools (including find_unused_dependencies) into the combined allTools list for MCP server.
const allTools = [ ...codeAnalysisTools, ...codeQualityTools, ...dependencyAnalysisTools, ...lintingTools, ...webScrapingTools, ...apiDiscoveryTools, ]; - src/server.ts:66-67 (registration)Dispatch/registration logic in MCP server that routes calls to handleDependencyAnalysisTool for dependency tools including find_unused_dependencies.
} else if (dependencyAnalysisTools.some((t) => t.name === name)) { result = await handleDependencyAnalysisTool(name, args || {}); - Core helper method findUnusedDependencies used by the analyzer (placeholder implementation with depcheck integration comments).
private async findUnusedDependencies(_projectPath: string): Promise<string[]> { // This is a simplified version. In production, we'd use the depcheck library // For now, return empty array - actual implementation would require depcheck try { // Would use: const { depcheck } = await import('depcheck'); // const result = await depcheck(projectPath, {}); // return result.dependencies || []; return []; } catch { return []; } }
