Installieren

Wählen Sie Ihren Client

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json · Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depwire-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Öffne Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config. Nach dem Speichern neu starten.

~/.cursor/mcp.json · .cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depwire-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cursor nutzt das gleiche mcpServers-Schema wie Claude Desktop. Projektkonfiguration schlägt die globale.

VS Code → Cline → MCP Servers → Edit

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depwire-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Klicken Sie auf das MCP-Servers-Symbol in der Cline-Seitenleiste, dann "Edit Configuration".

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "depwire-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Gleiche Struktur wie Claude Desktop. Windsurf neu starten zum Übernehmen.

~/.continue/config.json

{
  "mcpServers": [
    {
      "name": "depwire-mcp",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "depwire"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Continue nutzt ein Array von Serverobjekten statt einer Map.

~/.config/zed/settings.json

{
  "context_servers": {
    "depwire-mcp": {
      "command": {
        "path": "npx",
        "args": [
          "-y",
          "depwire"
        ]
      }
    }
  }
}

In context_servers hinzufügen. Zed lädt beim Speichern neu.

claude mcp add depwire-mcp -- npx -y depwire

Einzeiler. Prüfen mit claude mcp list. Entfernen mit claude mcp remove.

Anwendungsfälle

Praxisnahe Nutzung: DepWire

Rename an exported symbol safely across an unfamiliar codebase

👤 Engineers refactoring legacy code ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You don't trust the codebase enough to just grep-and-rename.

Voraussetzungen

Server/skill installed and authenticated — See repo README

Ablauf

Map the impact

Show me every file that imports parseConfig from src/config.ts.✓ Kopiert

→ List of importers grouped by package
Find covering tests

Which tests exercise src/config.ts? Run them first.✓ Kopiert

→ Test files + pass/fail status
Refactor

Rename to loadConfig everywhere. Update tests too.✓ Kopiert

→ Diff across all importers

Ergebnis: Rename with confidence — every call site and every test accounted for.

Fallstricke

Dynamic imports (require(x)) won't show up in the graph. For dynamic dispatch, double-check with grep. — Dynamic imports (require(x)) won't show up in the graph. For dynamic dispatch, double-check with grep.

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

no index built

Run depwire index from the repo root before first use. Re-run after major branch switches.

Prüfen: who_imports returns results

missing files

Add the language pack (e.g. depwire lang add python) if your repo isn't pure TS.

Prüfen: depwire status lists the language
