    • Python: Pylint, Bandit security checks
    • JavaScript/TypeScript: ESLint analysis
    • Automatic language detection
  • Security Scanning

    • Integrated Trivy vulnerability scanner
    • Comprehensive security reports
    • Support for multiple branches
  • Git Operations

    • Branch enumeration and management
    • Commit history analysis
    • Diff comparisons
    • Repository structure visualization

analyze_repository_structure(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    gitlab_credentials={"api_key": "your-token"},  # Optional
    branch="main"  # Optional
)

# Perform code quality analysis
analyze_code_quality(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    language="python"  # Optional, will auto-detect if not specified
)

# Security scan
security_scan_repository(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    scan_type="trivy"
)

# Compare changes
compare_git_changes(
    repo_url="https://gitlab.com/user/repo",
    source="feature-branch",
    target="main"
)

# Security scan repository

    scan_type="trivy"
)

### MCP Configuration

```json
{
    "command": "uvx",
    "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/athapong/argus",
        "argus"
    ],
    "alwaysAllow": [
        "get_commit_history",
        "enumerate_branches",

Supported Analysis Tools

Language Tools Installation
Go gocyclo, golangci-lint go install github.com/fzipp/gocyclo/cmd/gocyclo@latest
Java PMD macOS: brew install pmd, Linux: Auto-installed
Python Pylint, Bandit Auto-installed via dependencies
JavaScript ESLint npm install -g eslint

Environment Variables

  • SKIP_SYSTEM_CHECK: Set to any value to skip system dependency checks
  • PATH: Automatically updated for tool installations

Error Handling

The tool provides detailed error messages and graceful fallbacks:

  • Dependency installation failures show warnings instead of errors
  • Language detection falls back to specified language if auto-detection fails
  • Tool execution errors are captured in the response structure
