mcp-setup-assist

# mcp-setup-assist Generic utilities for configuring [codebase-memory-mcp](https://pypi.org/project/codebase-memory-mcp) in any Python project. Designed as a foundation for project-specific setup tools — handle the mechanics here, keep only project-specific defaults in the consumer package. ## What It Does - Resolves installed packages to their source directories via `pip show` (supports regular, editable, and system-wide installs) - Indexes one or more source trees into a `codebase-memory-mcp` knowledge graph — either as a single combined project (default) or as separate independent projects - Registers the `codebase-memory-mcp` MCP server with your IDE (Amazon Q, Claude, Cursor) - Copies agent rules and `.cbmignore` files into the correct IDE config locations - Provides a generic CLI builder so consumers expose a consistent `init` / `index` interface ## Installation ```bash pip install mcp-setup-assist ``` ## Building on top of this package `mcp-setup-assist` is a library, not an end-user tool. The typical pattern is to create a thin project-specific package that defines defaults and delegates to the generic functions: ```python # myproject_mcp/index.py from mcp_setup_assist.indexing import run_index as _run_index from myproject_mcp.templates import get_template_path PACKAGES = ["my-lib", "my-other-lib"] PROJECT_FOLDERS = ["src", "custom"] STAGING_DIR = ".myproject-index" def run_index(venv_path, extra_packages=None, extra_folders=None, include_system_packages=True, separate_packages=False): _run_index( venv_path=venv_path, packages=PACKAGES + (extra_packages or []), project_folders=PROJECT_FOLDERS + (extra_folders or []), cbmignore_file=get_template_path(".cbmignore"), include_system_packages=include_system_packages, separate_packages=separate_packages, staging_dir_name=STAGING_DIR, ) ``` ```python # myproject_mcp/cli.py from mcp_setup_assist.cli import run_cli from myprojec…
