Depwire MCP Server

Your AI doesn't know your architecture. Depwire does. Depwire builds a DETERMINISTIC, NOT PROBABILISTIC dependency graph of your codebase. This is not RAG. There are no embeddings, no similarity scores, no vector databases, no guesses. Depwire uses tree-sitter - the same parser powering GitHub's code intelligence - to extract exact symbol-level facts from every file: every function, every class, every interface…

People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.

01 · Install Depwire

before you install - you'll need

The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.

Claude Code

claude mcp add depwire-depwire -- npx -y depwire-cli

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depwire-depwire": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire-cli"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license no standard license detected - usage rights unclear; check the repo before commercial use

npm package depwire-cli - unscoped; check the name against the project README before installing

registry registry publisher io.github.atef-ataya is not the repo owner (depwire) - the registry entry was published by someone else
