description	MCP server integration for CytoScnPy code metrics analysis. Use when configuring CytoScnPy MCP server for AI assistants (Claude, Cursor, Copilot), setting up VS Code extension integration, or exposing code quality tools via MCP. Triggers on: mcp-cytosnpy, cytoscnpy mcp-server, MCP server setup, AI assistant code analysis integration, VS Code extension configuration.

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
