mcp-cytoscnpy

CytoScnPy MCP Server

Enable AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to use CytoScnPy code metrics tools via MCP.

Requires: Standalone CLI binary (cytoscnpy-cli). The Python package does not support mcp-server.

Quick Setup

Claude Desktop

Add to claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cytoscnpy": {
      "command": "cytoscnpy",
      "args": ["mcp-server"]
    }
  }
}

VS Code + Copilot

The VS Code extension automatically registers the MCP server. Just ask Copilot:

"Run a security scan on this file"

No extra config needed when extension is installed.

Cursor

Same config as Claude Desktop — add to Cursor's MCP settings.

Available Tools

When connected, CytoScnPy exposes code analysis tools to the AI assistant:

• Security scan — Detect secrets, keys, tokens
• Danger scan — Detect dangerous code patterns
• Quality scan — Code quality metrics (complexity, maintainability)
• Clone detection — Find duplicate code
• Raw metrics — LOC, SLOC, comments, blanks
