PhpCodeArcheology MCP server

PhpCodeArcheology is a tool that studies a PHP codebase and reports on its quality: how complex it is, where the messy spots are, and which parts have no tests. This MCP server is the bridge that lets your AI assistant read those findings and answer your questions about them. It is handy if you work on a PHP project and want plain answers about its health without digging through reports yourself.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI something like which files are the messiest or whether a class has tests. The AI passes that request to this MCP server. The server runs PhpCodeArcheology on your project, which measures things like complexity, coupling, and test coverage, and checks for problems such as God Classes or dead code. The results come back to the AI, which turns them into a normal answer for you.

What you can do with it

• Ask which files or classes are the most complex
• Find code hotspots that change often and are hard to maintain
• Check whether a class or method has tests
• List code problems like God Classes or dead code
• See the overall Health Score for your project
• Compare quality between two analysis runs
• Get a dependency or call graph for your code

Try asking your AI

• “Which files in my project have the highest complexity?”
• “Show me the untested classes that are also complex.”
• “What are the top refactoring priorities right now?”
• “Give me a quick health summary of my PHP project.”

What it gives back to you

You get answers in the chat, in normal sentences. Depending on what you ask, the AI can show lists of files or classes, problem counts, a Health Score number, coverage figures, or a short summary of the worst spots. It can also point you to the full HTML or JSON report if you want to look closer.
