### Description (declared)

# `mcp-codebase-cartography`

This repository hosts the code for an MCP server exposing various tools aimed at efficiently exploring codebases without wasting tokens, using AST-based tools and graph representations.

## Usage

MCP configuration `mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-codebase-cartography": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["mcp-codebase-cartography", "serve"]
    }
  }
}
```

### Building from source

The server ships a native extension (`python-bindings/`) built with
[maturin](https://www.maturin.rs). From `python-bindings/`, build and install
it into the active virtual environment:

```sh
maturin develop --release
```

or build a wheel and install it:

```sh
maturin build --release
pip install target/wheels/mcp_codebase_cartography-*.whl
```

### Installing from PyPI

The package is published to PyPI. Run it without installing via `uvx`, or
install it with pip:

```sh
uvx mcp-codebase-cartography serve
pip install mcp-codebase-cartography
```

### Releasing

Releases are cut from semver tags. The version lives in
`python-bindings/Cargo.toml` (`package.version`) and is read dynamically by
`pyproject.toml`.

1. Bump `package.version` in `python-bindings/Cargo.toml`.
2. Run the quality gates (`cargo clippy`, `cargo test`, `uvx ruff check
   python-bindings`, `uv run pyrefly check python-bindings`).
3. Commit and push a matching tag: `git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0`
   (or `jj tag set v0.1.0`).

Pushing a `vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH` tag triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`,
which builds the sdist and wheels, verifies the tag matches the package
version, publishes to PyPI, and creates a GitHub release with the artifacts.

Prerequisite: PyPI [Trusted Publishing](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/)
must be configured for the `pypi` GitHub environment so the workflow can
publish without a token.
