### Description (declared)

# Scalene-MCP

A FastMCP v2 server providing LLMs with structured access to [Scalene](https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene)'s comprehensive CPU, GPU, and memory profiling capabilities.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

- Python 3.10+
- uv (recommended) or pip

### From Source

```bash
git clone https://github.com/plasma-umass/scalene-mcp.git
cd scalene-mcp
uv venv
uv sync
```

### As a Package

```bash
pip install scalene-mcp
```

## Quick Start: Running the Server

### Development Mode

```bash
# Using uv
uv run scalene_mcp.server

# Using pip
python -m scalene_mcp.server
```

### Production Mode

```bash
python -m scalene_mcp.server
```

## 🎯 Native Integration with VSCode LLM Editors

**Works seamlessly with:**
- ✅ **[GitHub Copilot](SETUP_GITHUB_COPILOT.md)** - Direct integration
- ✅ **[Claude Code](SETUP_CLAUDE.md)** - VSCode extension
- ✅ **[Cursor](SETUP_CURSOR.md)** - All-in-one IDE
- ✅ **Any MCP-compatible LLM client**

### Zero-Friction Setup (3 Steps)

1. **Install**
   ```bash
   pip install scalene-mcp
   ```

2. **Configure** - Choose one method:
   
   **Automated (Recommended):**
   ```bash
   python scripts/setup_vscode.py
   ```
   Interactive setup script auto-finds your editor and configures it.
   
   **Manual - GitHub Copilot:**
   ```json
   // .vscode/settings.json
   {
     "github.copilot.chat.mcp.servers": {
       "scalene": {
         "command": "uv",
         "args": ["run", "-m", "scalene_mcp.server"]
       }
     }
   }
   ```
   
   **Manual - Claude Code / Cursor:** See editor-specific setup guides

3. **Restart VSCode/Cursor** and start profiling!

### Start Profiling Immediately

Open any Python project and ask your LLM:

```
"Profile main.py and show me the bottlenecks"
```

The LLM automatically:
- 🔍 Detects your project structure
- 📄 Finds and profiles your code
- 📊 Analyzes CPU, memory, GPU usage
- 💡 Suggests optimizations

**No path thinking. No manual configuration. Zero friction.**
