Pyscn Overview

pyscn MCP server exposes Python code-quality analyses to MCP-compatible coding agents through the bundled `pyscn-mcp` command. It covers complexity, dead code, duplicate code, dependencies, architecture, module hotspots, and class design, with the same analysis engine used by the CLI. Reach for it when an agent needs structured evidence for refactoring, architecture reviews, health checks, or CI-oriented reports. Configuration can be supplied through `.pyscn.toml`, `pyproject.toml`, or the `PYSCN_CONFIG` environment variable.

Primary Use Cases for Pyscn:
  • Review Python complexity before refactoring
  • Find duplicate and dead code in an application
  • Inspect circular dependencies and architecture violations
  • Generate code-quality evidence for an AI-assisted review
