Daipendency (Public API docs) MCP server

This MCP server implements the Model Context Protocol for Daipendency, allowing you to extract documentation for dependencies in your local projects. It provides a convenient interface to access Daipendency functionality through the MCP protocol.

Installation

Run the MCP server directly using npx:

npx -y @daipendency/mcp

This command starts the MCP server using stdio for communication.

Available Tools

Get Dependency Documentation

The MCP server provides the get_dependency_docs tool, which extracts both narrative and API documentation for dependencies in your local project.

This tool performs the same function as the daipendency extract-dep command in the main Daipendency CLI.

Usage Example

When integrated with an MCP client, you can use the get_dependency_docs tool to retrieve comprehensive documentation for any dependency in your project. The tool will extract and return both narrative documentation and API details to help you understand how to use the dependency effectively.

The extracted documentation provides:

• General usage information
• API references
• Function and method descriptions
• Parameter details
• Return value information

How to install this MCP server

For Claude Code

To add this MCP server to Claude Code, run this command in your terminal:

claude mcp add-json "daipendency-mcp" '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","@daipendency/mcp"]}'

See the official Claude Code MCP documentation for more details.

For Cursor

There are two ways to add an MCP server to Cursor. The most common way is to add the server globally in the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file so that it is available in all of your projects.

If you only need the server in a single project, you can add it to the project instead by creating or adding it to the .cursor/mcp.json file.

Adding an MCP server to Cursor globally

To add a global MCP server go to Cursor Settings > Tools & Integrations and click "New MCP Server".

When you click that button the ~/.cursor/mcp.json file will be opened and you can add your server like this:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "daipendency-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@daipendency/mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Adding an MCP server to a project

To add an MCP server to a project you can create a new .cursor/mcp.json file or add it to the existing one. This will look exactly the same as the global MCP server example above.

How to use the MCP server

Once the server is installed, you might need to head back to Settings > MCP and click the refresh button.

The Cursor agent will then be able to see the available tools the added MCP server has available and will call them when it needs to.

You can also explicitly ask the agent to use the tool by mentioning the tool name and describing what the function does.

For Claude Desktop

To add this MCP server to Claude Desktop:

1. Find your configuration file:

2. Add this to your configuration file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "daipendency-mcp": {
            "command": "npx",
            "args": [
                "-y",
                "@daipendency/mcp"
            ]
        }
    }
}

3. Restart Claude Desktop for the changes to take effect
