Codelogic MCP Server

What is Codelogic MCP Server about?

Enables AI assistants to assess the impact of code modifications and database entity changes by querying CodeLogic's rich dependency data.

How to use Codelogic MCP Server?

1. Install Astral UV (required runtime).
2. Configure the server in your IDE (VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf) via an mcp.json (or equivalent) file, specifying the command (uvx or uv) and required environment variables (CODELOGIC_SERVER_HOST, CODELOGIC_USERNAME, CODELOGIC_PASSWORD, CODELOGIC_WORKSPACE_NAME, optional CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE).
3. Restart the IDE and ensure the MCP tab lists the codelogic-mcp-server.
4. When prompting the AI assistant, request a code‑method impact or a database‑entity impact; the assistant will invoke the appropriate tool.

Key Features

• Two built‑in tools: codelogic-method-impact (method‑level impact) and codelogic-database-impact (database entity impact).
• Cross‑IDE support: pre‑made configuration snippets for VS Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf.
• Debug mode: optional detailed logs (timing_log.txt, impact_data_*.json) in a temporary directory.
• Version pinning: specify a concrete version in the args field (e.g., codelogic-mcp-server@0.2.2).
• Compatibility guidance: versions ≤ 0.3.1 work with any CodeLogic API; ≥ 0.4.0 require API ≥ 25.10.0.
• MacOS uvx workaround: use uv instead of uvx when launching from certain IDEs.

Use Cases

• AI‑driven code review: automatically surface downstream effects before a developer commits changes.
• Database schema evolution: evaluate how a column, table, or view modification impacts existing services.
• Continuous integration pipelines: embed impact checks as a gate to prevent breaking changes.
• Team onboarding: provide new developers instant visibility into code dependencies.

FAQ

• What is required before running the server? Install Astral UV (uv/uvx). No other external dependencies are needed.
• How do I run the server on macOS if uvx fails? Use the uv executable in the command field and adjust the args accordingly (see the MacOS workaround section).
• Can I limit the server to specific languages? The server is intended for Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, and C#/.NET codebases; it should not be invoked for Python or unsupported languages.
• Where are debug files stored? In the system temporary directory under codelogic-mcp-server (e.g., %TEMP%\codelogic-mcp-server on Windows, /tmp/codelogic-mcp-server on macOS/Linux).
• How do I pin to a particular version? Replace codelogic-mcp-server@latest with codelogic-mcp-server@<version> in the args array.

codelogic-mcp-server

An MCP Server to utilize Codelogic's rich software dependency data in your AI programming assistant.

Components

Tools

The server implements two tools:

• codelogic-method-impact: Pulls an impact assessment from the CodeLogic server's APIs for your code.
  • Takes the given "method" that you're working on and its associated "class".
• codelogic-database-impact: Analyzes impacts between code and database entities.
  • Takes the database entity type (column, table, or view) and its name.

Install

Pre Requisites

The MCP server relies upon Astral UV to run, please install

MacOS Workaround for uvx

There is a known issue with uvx on MacOS where the CodeLogic MCP server may fail to launch in certain IDEs (such as Cursor), resulting in errors like: See issue #11

Failed to connect client closed

This appears to be a problem with Astral uvx running on MacOS. The following can be used as a workaround:

1. Clone this project locally.
2. Configure your mcp.json to use uv instead of uvx. For example:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codelogic-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "<PATH_TO_UV>/uv",
      "args": [
        "--directory",
        "<PATH_TO_THIS_REPO>/codelogic-mcp-server-main",
        "run",
        "codelogic-mcp-server"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CODELOGIC_SERVER_HOST": "<url to the server e.g. https://myco.app.codelogic.com>",
        "CODELOGIC_USERNAME": "<my username>",
        "CODELOGIC_PASSWORD": "<my password>",
        "CODELOGIC_MV_NAME": "<my workspace>",
        "CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Restart Cursor.
4. Ensure the Cursor Global Rule for CodeLogic is in place.
5. Open the MCP tab in Cursor and refresh the codelogic-mcp-server.
6. Ask Cursor to make a code change in an existing class. The MCP server should now run the impact analysis successfully.

Configuration for Different IDEs

Visual Studio Code Configuration

To configure this MCP server in VS Code:

1. First, ensure you have GitHub Copilot agent mode enabled in VS Code.

2. Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace with the following configuration:

{
  "servers": {
    "codelogic-mcp-server": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "codelogic-mcp-server@latest"
      ],
      "env": {
        "CODELOGIC_SERVER_HOST": "<url to the server e.g. https://myco.app.codelogic.com>",
        "CODELOGIC_USERNAME": "<my username>",
        "CODELOGIC_PASSWORD": "<my password>",
        "CODELOGIC_WORKSPACE_NAME": "<my workspace>",
        "CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE": "true"
      }
    }
  }
}

Note: On some systems, you may need to use the full path to the uvx executable instead of just "uvx". For example: /home/user/.local/bin/uvx on Linux/Mac or C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\astral\uvx.exe on Windows.

3. Alternatively, you can run the MCP: Add Server command from the Command Palette and provide the server information.

4. To manage your MCP servers, use the MCP: List Servers command from the Command Palette.

5. Once configured, the server's tools will be available to Copilot agent mode. You can toggle specific tools on/off as needed by clicking the Tools button in the Chat view when in agent mode.

6. To use the Codelogic tools in agent mode, you can specifically ask about code impacts or database relationships, and the agent will utilize the appropriate tools.

Claude Desktop Configuration

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be configured to customize the behavior of the server:

• CODELOGIC_SERVER_HOST: The URL of the CodeLogic server.
• CODELOGIC_USERNAME: Your CodeLogic username.
• CODELOGIC_PASSWORD: Your CodeLogic password.
• CODELOGIC_WORKSPACE_NAME: The name of the workspace to use.
• CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE: Set to true to enable debug mode. When enabled, additional debug files such as timing_log.txt and impact_data*.json will be generated. Defaults to false.

Example Configuration

"env": {
  "CODELOGIC_SERVER_HOST": "<url to the server e.g. https://myco.app.codelogic.com>",
  "CODELOGIC_USERNAME": "<my username>",
  "CODELOGIC_PASSWORD": "<my password>",
  "CODELOGIC_WORKSPACE_NAME": "<my workspace>",
  "CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE": "true"
}

Pinning the version

instead of using the latest version of the server, you can pin to a specific version by changing the args field to match the version in pypi e.g.

    "args": [
      "codelogic-mcp-server@0.2.2"
    ],

Version Compatibility

This MCP server has the following version compatibility requirements:

• Version 0.3.1 and below: Compatible with all CodeLogic API versions
• Version 0.4.0 and above: Requires CodeLogic API version 25.10.0 or greater

If you're upgrading, make sure your CodeLogic server meets the minimum API version requirement.

Debug Logging

When CODELOGIC_DEBUG_MODE=true, debug files are written to the system temporary directory:

• Windows: %TEMP%\codelogic-mcp-server (typically C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\codelogic-mcp-server)
• macOS: /tmp/codelogic-mcp-server (or $TMPDIR/codelogic-mcp-server if set)
• Linux: /tmp/codelogic-mcp-server (or $TMPDIR/codelogic-mcp-server if set)

Debug files include:

• timing_log.txt - Performance timing information
• impact_data_*.json - Raw impact analysis data for troubleshooting

Finding your log directory:

import tempfile
import os
print("Log directory:", os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), "codelogic-mcp-server"))

Testing

Running Unit Tests

The project uses unittest for testing. You can run unit tests without any external dependencies:

python -m unittest discover -s test -p "unit_*.py"

Unit tests use mock data and don't require a connection to a CodeLogic server.

Integration Tests (Optional)

If you want to run integration tests that connect to a real CodeLogic server:

1. Copy test/.env.test.example to test/.env.test and populate with your CodeLogic server details
2. Run the integration tests:

python -m unittest discover -s test -p "integration_*.py"

Note: Integration tests require access to a CodeLogic server instance.
