📦 Installation

Prerequisites

Item	Version	Purpose
Python	3.11+	CLI · MCP server
.NET Runtime	8.0+	C# / Unity project analysis

pip install gdep

After installation, the gdep command is available globally.

For the MCP server (Claude Desktop / Cursor integration), also install:

npm install -g gdep-mcp

---

🚀 Quick Start

1. Detect Project

gdep detect {path}

2. Analyze Structure

gdep scan {path} --circular --top 15

┌─ scan results ───────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Files: 312  |  Classes: 847  |  Dead Code: 12        │
└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
── Top Classes by Coupling
  1  CombatManager   23
  2  DataManager     18
── Circular Dependencies
  ↻ CombatCore → CombatUnit → CombatCore

3. Initialize AI Agent Context

# Creates .gdep/AGENTS.md — auto-read by Claude / Cursor / Gemini
gdep init {path}

🤝 AI Agent + MCP Integration

gdep provides an MCP server for direct use in Claude Desktop, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible AI agents.

Quick Install via npm (Recommended)

npm install -g gdep-mcp

Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "gdep": {
      "command": "gdep-mcp",
      "env": { "PYTHONUTF8": "1" }
    }
  }
}

⚙️ C# Parser (gdep.dll)

The C# parser ships as an OS-agnostic single DLL, running identically on Windows · macOS · Linux.

Detection priority: $GDEP_DLL env → publish_dll/gdep.dll → publish/gdep.dll → legacy binary
