dke-forge 0.23.0

CLI and MCP server for the DKE-Forge deterministic code intelligence engine

dke-forge

Python CLI and MCP server for DKE-Forge — a deterministic, graph-native code intelligence engine.

This package is a thin HTTP client over the Forge API. The reasoning engine itself (graph construction, pattern learning, provenance tracking, impact analysis) runs server-side at dke-forge.com. Your code is ingested into a private graph; every query returns grounded, provenance-tagged answers — no LLM guessing.

Install

pip install dke-forge              # CLI only
pip install 'dke-forge[mcp]'       # CLI + MCP stdio server

Configure

Sign up at dke-forge.com to get an API key, then:

dke-forge config set api_key fga_your_key

Or set environment variables (overrides the config file):

export FORGE_URL=https://dke-forge.com
export FORGE_API_KEY=fga_your_key

The config file lives at ~/.config/dke-forge/config.json (chmod 600).

CLI

dke-forge health                          # server status
dke-forge graph stats                     # node/edge counts
dke-forge graph function main             # look up a function
dke-forge graph callers authenticate      # who calls authenticate?
dke-forge graph impact login              # what breaks if login changes?
dke-forge scan /path/to/repo              # ingest a repo (polls to completion)
dke-forge scan /path/to/repo --no-wait    # returns scan_id; poll separately
dke-forge scan-status <scan_id>           # check async scan progress

Run dke-forge --help for the full command tree.

MCP — Claude Code, VS Code, Cursor, any MCP client

Install with the [mcp] extra, then add this to your MCP client config.

Claude Code (.mcp.json at project root, or ~/.mcp.json for global):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "forge": {
      "command": "dke-forge-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FORGE_URL": "https://dke-forge.com",
        "FORGE_API_KEY": "fga_your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

Cursor / VS Code (via settings.json):

{
  "mcp.servers": {
    "forge": {
      "command": "dke-forge-mcp",
      "env": {
        "FORGE_URL": "https://dke-forge.com",
        "FORGE_API_KEY": "fga_your_key"
      }
    }
  }
}

The server advertises 59 tools over stdio. Your assistant will discover them automatically and invoke them when it needs structural facts about your code.

59 Tools, 13 Categories

Ingestion covers 8 languages: C++, C, Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust, Java, JavaScript. Cross-language relationships resolve into a single graph by construction — a Python call into a C++ library surfaces as a first-class edge.

What Makes Forge Different

Every MCP tool answer is provenance-tagged — you can ask where a claim came from. Queries are deterministic — same graph, same answer. Contradictions in the graph are surfaced, not hidden. Pattern discovery has a lifecycle (proposed → supported → confirmed) with confidence propagation. This is the set of things a graph-native reasoning engine can do that LLM-plus-grep fundamentally cannot.
