A powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides comprehensive Python code analysis using Ruff for linting, ty for type checking, and Vulture for dead code detection. Perfect for AI assistants, IDEs, and automated code review workflows.
🚀 Quick Start
VS Code Integration (One-Click Install)
For quick installation, use one of the one-click install buttons below...
Install with UV in VS Code Install with UV in VS Code Insiders
Install with Docker in VS Code Install with Docker in VS Code Insiders
For manual installation, add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).
Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace. This will allow you to share the configuration with others.
Note that the
mcpkey is needed when using themcp.jsonfile.
Using uvx (recommended):
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"analyzer": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-analyzer"]
}
}
}
}
Using Docker:
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"analyzer": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/anselmoo/mcp-server-analyzer"]
}
}
}
}

🧪 Development
Prerequisites
Setup
# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/anselmoo/mcp-server-analyzer.git
cd mcp-server-analyzer
# Install Python dependencies
uv sync --dev
# Install Biome (JS/TS analyzer)
npm ci
# Run tests
uv run pytest
# Run type checks
uv run ty check src tests
# Run pre-commit hooks
uv tool run pre-commit run --all-files
# Build Docker image
docker build -t mcp-server-analyzer .
Testing
# Run all tests
uv run pytest tests/ -v
# Run with coverage
uv run pytest --cov=src/mcp_server_analyzer --cov-report=html
# Test specific functionality
uv run pytest tests/test_server.py::TestAnalyzers::test_ruff_with_sample_code
📊 Quality Metrics
The server provides quality scoring based on:
- Ruff Issues: Style violations, potential bugs, complexity metrics
- ty Diagnostics: Static typing errors and warnings
- Dead Code Detection: Unused imports, functions, variables
- Combined Score: Weighted quality assessment (0-100)
🔒 Security
- Signed Releases: All releases signed with Sigstore
- Container Signing: Docker images signed with Cosign
- Trusted Publishing: PyPI releases use GitHub OIDC trusted publishing
- Vulnerability Scanning: Automated security scanning in CI/CD
- Supply Chain Security: SLSA Build Level 3 compliance
- Security Policy: See SECURITY.md for vulnerability reporting
🔍 Data Handling & Transparency
- In-memory only: Code passed to tools is written to a temporary file, analyzed, and the file is deleted immediately — nothing is persisted between calls.
- No network calls: The server makes no outbound network connections during analysis.
- No telemetry: No usage data, analytics, or crash reports are collected.
- Subprocess isolation: ruff, ty, and vulture are invoked with fixed argument lists — no shell expansion or arbitrary command execution.
