A powerful [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that provides comprehensive Python code analysis using [**RUFF**](https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/) for linting and [**VULTURE**](https://github.com/jendrikseipp/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...

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 `mcp` key is needed when using the `mcp.json` file.
**Using uvx (recommended):**
```json
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"analyzer": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["mcp-server-analyzer"]
}
}
}
}
```
**Using Docker:**
```json
{
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"analyzer": {
"command": "docker",
"args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "ghcr.io/anselmoo/mcp-server-analyzer"]
}
}
}
}
```
