14 languages out of the box

TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, C#, C/C++, plus dependency parsers for npm, pip, cargo, gradle, nuget, go.mod and more.

SQALE metrics + 16 MCP tools

Project + file-level analysis, severity/category filters, recommendations, offline dependency reports, and a custom-rules engine — all exposed as MCP tools and resources.

Custom rules, no plugin needed

Define regex-based rules in `.techdebtrc.json` with severity, category, and per-rule file globs. Validated at registration time with length and flag allowlists.

Distributed every way

Install via npm, register via Claude Code plugin manifest, or one-click via the MCPB bundle attached to every GitHub Release.

Quick start ​

bash
# Run directly via npx
npx -y tech-debt-mcp@latest

Then add it to your MCP client config — see Install for claude_desktop_config.json, Claude Code plugin, and MCPB bundle paths.

What you get ​

  • 16 MCP tools for project-, file-, and rule-level analysis — see the tool reference.
  • Two MCP resource templates (debt://summary/{+projectPath}, debt://issues/{+projectPath}) for read-only ingestion.
  • SQALE rating + remediation time for every project.
  • Offline dependency reports across the major package managers (CVE lookup is a planned future feature).
  • Inline suppression (// techdebt-ignore-next-line <rule>) to silence false positives without disabling rules globally.
