daipendency

This MCP server from Daipendency provides a way to interact with dependency documentation extraction via the MCP framework. It exposes tools such as get_dependency_docs, which allows you to extract narrative text and API documentation for a dependency used in your local project. The tool set is designed to mirror Daipendency’s own command-line capabilities (e.g., daipendency extract-dep) but exposed through the MCP protocol for integration into editor tooling, dashboards, or CI workflows. You can start the server via npx and then connect using an MCP client to query the available tools and run documentation extraction against your project’s dependencies.

Prerequisites:

• Node.js and npm installed on your machine

Install and run the MCP server using npx:

1. Ensure you have access to npm and can run npx:

   • Install Node.js from https://nodejs.org/ if needed

2. Start the MCP server:

   • Run: npx -y @daipendency/mcp

3. Interact with the MCP server using an MCP client, or configure your editor/IDE to connect to the server as per your MCP client documentation.

Notes:

• The server is designed to be run via npx for quick start without a global install.
• Ensure network access to fetch the package from npm when starting the server for the first time.

Tips and caveats:

• The server is published as @daipendency/mcp and is intended to be used via npx for quick start. If you prefer a persistent install, you can install it globally or as a local project dependency.
• When using get_dependency_docs, ensure your local project has the dependencies installed so the server can inspect and document them.
• If you run into permission or network issues with npx, try clearing npm cache or updating npm to a recent version.
• The MCP server mirrors Daipendency's CLI capabilities, so tool names and behaviors align with daipendency extract-dep for dependency documentation extraction.
