### Description (declared)

# 🏛️ mcp-architect

> **Stop pasting your file tree into Claude.** Give any AI assistant *real* architectural understanding of a codebase — **local, private, zero‑config.**

</p>

AI coding assistants are great at *files* but blind to *architecture*. Every session you re‑explain the structure, paste the file tree, and hope it guesses your module boundaries right. **mcp-architect** is an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/) server that hands your assistant a structured map of any codebase — tech stack, dependency graph, hotspots, and module summaries — computed **100% locally** with **no API keys and no model required**.

It works with **Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline**, or any MCP client.

## Why

| Without mcp-architect | With mcp-architect |
|---|---|
| "Here's my file tree, please figure out the structure…" | `architecture_overview` → stack, entry points, structure in one call |
| AI guesses how modules relate | `dependency_graph` → real import graph + circular‑dependency detection |
| "Which files matter?" | `hotspots` → largest, most complex, most‑changed, highest‑risk |
| Re‑explaining a package every time | `explain` → classes, functions, and deps of any folder |

Everything runs on your machine. Your code never leaves it.

## Quickstart

### Install

```bash
pip install mcp-architect
```

…or skip the install entirely and let your MCP client fetch it on demand with `uvx` (shown below).
