Available Tools (10)

Tools Details

Tool: analyze_dependency_age

Single dependency. Returns days since last release and freshness (fresh/current/aging/stale), with actionable insights. Use when asked about 'how old' or 'last release' of a library.

Tool: analyze_project_health

Bulk project view. Summarizes health across many dependencies using age and maintenance patterns, with concise recommendations. Set stabilityFilter to ALL (default), STABLE_ONLY, or PREFER_STABLE for upgrade recommendations.

Tool: analyze_release_patterns

Single dependency. Analyzes historical releases to infer cadence, consistency, and likely next-release timeframe. Useful for maintenance and planning.

Tool: check_multiple_dependencies

Bulk. For many coordinates (no versions), returns per-dependency latest versions by type. Set stabilityFilter to ALL (default), STABLE_ONLY, or PREFER_STABLE. Use for audits of multiple dependencies.

Tool: check_version_exists

Single dependency + version. Validates existence on Maven Central and classifies its stability (stable/rc/beta/alpha/milestone/snapshot). Use when asked: 'does X:Y exist?' or 'is version V stable?'

Tool: compare_dependency_versions

Bulk compare. Input includes versions. Suggests upgrades and classifies update type (major/minor/patch). Set stabilityFilter to ALL (default), STABLE_ONLY, or PREFER_STABLE. Never suggests downgrades.

Tool: get_latest_version

Single dependency. Returns newest versions by type (stable/rc/beta/alpha/milestone). Set stabilityFilter to ALL (default), STABLE_ONLY, or PREFER_STABLE. Use when asked: 'what's the latest version of X?' Works with all JVM build tools.

Tool: get_library_docs

Fetches up-to-date documentation for a library. You must call 'resolve-library-id' first to obtain the exact Context7-compatible library ID required to use this tool, UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

Tool: get_version_timeline

Single dependency. Returns a timeline of recent versions with dates, gaps, and stability patterns. Use for quick release history snapshots.

Tool: resolve_library_id

Resolves a package/product name to a Context7-compatible library ID and returns a list of matching libraries.

You MUST call this function before 'get-library-docs' to obtain a valid Context7-compatible library ID UNLESS the user explicitly provides a library ID in the format '/org/project' or '/org/project/version' in their query.

Selection Process:

1. Analyze the query to understand what library/package the user is looking for
2. Return the most relevant match based on:

• Name similarity to the query (exact matches prioritized)
• Description relevance to the query's intent
• Documentation coverage (prioritize libraries with higher Code Snippet counts)
• Trust score (consider libraries with scores of 7-10 more authoritative)

Response Format:

• Return the selected library ID in a clearly marked section
• Provide a brief explanation for why this library was chosen
• If multiple good matches exist, acknowledge this but proceed with the most relevant one
• If no good matches exist, clearly state this and suggest query refinements

For ambiguous queries, request clarification before proceeding with a best-guess match.

Why is it safer to run MCP Servers with Docker?⁠
