## Description
License check, outdated deps, security for AI agents

## Claude Desktop Quick Installation
Heuristic fallback — verify the package name and runner against the repository README before running it. Uses `npx` (confidence: low):

```json
"mcpServers": {
  "dep": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": ["-y","dep"]
  }
}
```

## Documentation & README


# mcp-dep-tools

MCP server providing dependency and package management tools for AI agents. Analyze licenses, find outdated packages, visualize dependency trees, estimate bundle sizes, and audit security vulnerabilities — all from your AI assistant.

## Tools

### dep_check_licenses
Analyze licenses of all dependencies in a project. Lists each dependency's license type, flags copyleft (GPL) and unknown licenses, and checks for compatibility issues.

### dep_find_outdated
Check which dependencies are outdated. Compares installed or specified versions against the latest on npm, categorizes updates as major/minor/patch, and shows how many days since the latest version was published.

### dep_analyze_tree
Build and display the dependency tree. Shows direct dependencies and their transitive sub-dependencies, calculates maximum depth, detects circular dependencies, and counts total transitive packages.

### dep_analyze_size
Estimate total bundle size from package.json without installing node_modules. Queries the Bundlephobia API for each production dependency to get minified and gzipped sizes.

### dep_security_audit
Check dependencies for known security vulnerabilities. Runs `npm audit` when a lockfile is present, otherwise queries the npm registry advisory API directly. Reports severity levels, affected version ranges, and fix recommendations.

## Setup

```bash
npm install
npm run build
```

## Usage with Claude Desktop

Add to your Claude Desktop config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "dep-tools": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["path/to/mcp-dep-tools/dist/index.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

## All tools accept a single parameter

- **project_dir** (string, required): Absolute path to the project directory containing a `package.json`.
