What are the runtime dependencies?

Node.js ≥18.0.0, Python 3.x (for AST parsing), and Git (for cloning the repository).

How do I integrate with Cursor IDE or Claude Desktop?

Add an MCP server entry to your configuration. Use the command node /path/to/mcp-docs-tools/bin/server.js (if cloned) or just mcp-docs-tools (if installed globally). See the README for JSON examples.

Where are the generated documentation files saved?

All tools output files inside a docs/ directory in the analyzed project: docs/uml.txt, docs/tree-structure.txt, and docs/module-functions.txt.

What happens if a Python file cannot be parsed?

The tools include comprehensive error handling. Python process failures yield detailed error messages with stdout/stderr, and missing dependencies or invalid paths produce clear instructions.
