TechDebtMCP v2.0.0: MCP server for technical debt analysis across 14 languages

TechDebtMCP v2.0.0 is an MCP server that connects Claude to your codebase to analyze technical debt. Once connected, you can ask Claude questions about technical debt, security issues, and code quality.

Key Features

• Analyzes code quality issues, security vulnerabilities, and maintainability problems across 14 programming languages: JS/TS, Python, Java, Swift, Kotlin, Go, Rust, C/C++, C#, Ruby, PHP, and more
• Provides SQALE metrics including A–E debt ratings, remediation time estimates, and debt ratios
• Includes 14 specialized SwiftUI checks for state management, retain cycles, deprecated patterns, etc.
• Performs dependency analysis across 10 package ecosystems
• Supports custom rules via .techdebtrc.json for defining regex-based checks

Example Queries

Once connected, you can ask Claude:

• "What's the worst technical debt in this project?"
• "Give me a SQALE rating for this repo"
• "What are my top 5 security issues?"
• "Scan this file and tell me what needs fixing first"

Setup

Add to Claude Desktop (claude_desktop_config.json):

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

Or use Claude Code:

claude mcp add tech-debt-mcp -- npx -y tech-debt-mcp@latest

The tool scans itself regularly and currently holds an A rating with a 2.9% debt ratio.
