Remediation time by debt category — where the work would land if you fixed everything:

Category	Remediation
maintainability	19d 2h
code-quality	1h

The bulk of remediation lives in maintainability — that's where a debt-reduction sprint would have the highest ROI.

What should I fix first?

tech-debt-mcp · get_recommendations (simplified view — title + description from AnalysisEngine.analyzeProject())

1. Dedicate Time for Tech Debt Reduction — 19 high-severity issues found. Consider allocating sprint time for tech debt.

2. Improve Code Maintainability — Several files have maintainability issues like deep nesting or excessive length.

How do I reproduce this locally?

tech-debt-mcp

Clone the repo at the pinned commit:

git clone https://github.com/slimphp/Slim.git
cd Slim && git checkout e12cb05ca2a14e8f459d019e87a31dc915b80470

Option 1 — npx (any MCP client)

Add to your client's MCP config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "tech-debt": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "tech-debt-mcp@latest"] }
  }
}

Then call analyze_project with the absolute path to the clone.

Option 2 — Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add PierreJanineh/TechDebtMCP
/plugin install tech-debt-mcp@techdebtmcp

Then ask Claude Code: "Run analyze_project on this directory."

Tech Debt MCP is a static analyzer. It identifies patterns that often indicate debt — not all flagged code is broken, and not all debt will be flagged. Repository authors are not responsible for these findings.
