🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13+

• UV package manager

• PostgreSQL database (must be running)

• FDEP output from Spider plugin (for comprehensive analysis)

Database Setup

Before installation, ensure PostgreSQL is running and create the required database:

# Start PostgreSQL (if not already running)
# On macOS with Homebrew:
brew services start postgresql

# On Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo systemctl start postgresql

# Create the database
createdb code_as_data # this should match with you $DB_NAME value in .env file (DEFAULT: code_as_data)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/juspay/fdep-mcp-server.git
cd fdep_mcp

# Install globally with UV (recommended)
uv tool install .

# OR install globally with pipx
# pipx install .

# OR system-wide installation
# pip install .vi 

Database Setup and Data Import

Important: Complete this step before using the MCP server with any client.

fdep-mcp-server --setup --verbose

This command will:

• Initialize the PostgreSQL database schema

• Import and process your FDEP data (if FDEP_PATH is configured)

• Set up all necessary indexes and relationships

Note: The first run takes time as it processes large FDEP datasets.

Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your database settings and FDEP_PATH

🔌 MCP Client Configuration

After installation, configure your preferred MCP client to connect to the FDEP server:

Claude Code

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fdepAnalyzer": {
      "command": "fdep-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

Cursor

Add to your Cursor settings (Cmd/Ctrl + , → Extensions → MCP):

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "fdepAnalyzer": {
      "command": "fdep-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output",
        "LOG_LEVEL": "INFO"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

VS Code

Install the MCP extension and add to settings.json:

{
  "mcp.servers": [
    {
      "name": "fdepAnalyzer",
      "command": "fdep-mcp-server", 
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

Cline

Add to your Cline configuration:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "fdepAnalyzer": {
      "command": "fdep-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

Continue.dev

Add to your .continue/config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "fdepAnalyzer",
      "command": "fdep-mcp-server",
      "args": [],
      "env": {
        "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

Generic MCP Client

For any MCP-compatible client:

{
  "server_name": "fdepAnalyzer",
  "command": "fdep-mcp-server",
  "args": [],
  "environment": {
    "FDEP_PATH": "/path/to/your/fdep/output",
    "DB_HOST": "localhost",
    "DB_NAME": "code_as_data",
    "LOG_LEVEL": "INFO"
  }
}

Note: The first time running the server takes time as it imports and processes the FDEP data.

Environment Variables for All Clients

# Required
FDEP_PATH=/path/to/your/fdep/output

# Database (if different from defaults)
DB_HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=5432
DB_NAME=code_as_data
DB_USER=postgres
DB_PASSWORD=postgres

# Optional
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
DEV_MODE=false

Verify Connection

After configuring your client, verify the connection:

1. Start your MCP client

2. Look for "fdepAnalyzer" in available tools/servers

3. Test with a simple query: list_modules(limit=5)

4. You should see your Haskell modules listed
