MCP Server Reference

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

What is the MCP server?

The CAST Imaging MCP (Model Context Protocol) server exposes the application graph to AI assistant tools such as Claude Desktop or IDE plugins. This lets you ask questions about your application directly from your IDE or AI chat interface.

Set up the MCP server

[TODO: Installation steps; configuration file format; how to connect a compatible AI assistant]

Available capabilities

[TODO: List of capabilities exposed by the MCP server — what queries it can answer, what data it returns]

Complexity Metrics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

CAST Imaging shows three complexity metrics for every object. Understanding them helps you identify high-risk code.

Cyclomatic Complexity (CC)

Cyclomatic Complexity measures the number of independent paths through a piece of code.

A method with no branches has CC = 1.
Each if, for, while, case, or similar branch adds 1 to the CC.
A higher CC means more paths to test and a higher chance of bugs.

Guideline: CC > 10 is considered complex. CC > 25 is very complex and should be reviewed.
