An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that extracts complete knowledge from any codebase — architecture, patterns, dependencies, API surface. Combines static analysis with AI-powered deep interpretation.

Works with any MCP client: [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [Claude Desktop](https://claude.ai), [Cursor](https://cursor.sh), and more.

**Give it a repo, get a senior engineer's analysis in 30 seconds for ~$0.09.**

## Quickstart

### Install & run with uvx (no clone needed)

```bash
uvx ferret-mcp
```

### Or install with pip

```bash
pip install ferret-mcp
```

## MCP Client Setup

### Claude Code

```bash
claude mcp add ferret -- uvx ferret-mcp
```

To enable AI-powered tools (`deep`, `ask`), set your API key:

```bash
claude mcp add ferret -e FERRET_LLM_API_KEY=sk-ant-... -- uvx ferret-mcp
```

### Claude Desktop / Cursor / Windsurf / any MCP client

Add to your MCP config file (`claude_desktop_config.json`, `.cursor/mcp.json`, etc.):

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ferret": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["ferret-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "FERRET_LLM_API_KEY": "sk-ant-..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Local development

```bash
git clone https://github.com/fabdendev/ferret-mcp.git
cd ferret-mcp
cp .env.example .env   # Add your API key
uv sync
uv run ferret-mcp
```
