Analyze an arbitrary codebase to identify functions, APIs, and data sources suitable for exposure as MCP tools, producing a tool specification document. Use when planning an MCP server for an existing project, auditing a codebase before wrapping it as an AI-accessible tool surface, comparing what a codebase can do versus what is already exposed via MCP, or generating a tool spec to hand off to scaffold-mcp-server.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Analyze Codebase for MCP
Scan a codebase to discover functions, REST endpoints, CLI commands, and data access patterns that are good candidates for MCP tool exposure, then produce a structured tool specification document.
## When to Use
- Planning an MCP server for an existing project and need to know what to expose
- Auditing a codebase before wrapping it as an AI-accessible tool surface
- Comparing what a codebase can do versus what is already exposed via MCP
- Generating a tool specification document to hand off to `scaffold-mcp-server`
- Evaluating whether a third-party library is worth wrapping as MCP tools
## Inputs
- **Required**: Path to the codebase root directory
- **Required**: Target language(s) of the codebase (e.g., TypeScript, Python, R, Go)
- **Optional**: Existing MCP server code to compare against (gap analysis)
- **Optional**: Domain focus (e.g., "data analysis", "file operations", "API integration")
- **Optional**: Maximum number of tools to recommend (default: 20)
## Procedure
### Step 1: Scan Codebase Structure
1.1. Use `Glob` to map the directory tree, focusing on source directories:
- `src/**/*.{ts,js,py,R,go,rs}` for source files

How to install
mdr add pjt222/agent-almanac/analyze-codebase-for-mcp@sha256:a52cfda620e6ace6The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
