How to Set Up and Use AI Game Base Analysis
The AI Game Base Analysis CLI MCP Tool (gdep) is a comprehensive game codebase analysis platform that exposes over 30 MCP tools for inspecting, navigating, and diagnosing game engine projects built with Unreal Engine 5, Unity, Axmol, and other frameworks. It combines a .NET-backed analysis engine with a Python CLI and MCP server to deliver sub-second architecture scans, impact analysis, call-chain tracing, blueprint mapping, lint rule enforcement, and a built-in wiki cache — all accessible from an AI assistant. Game developers can ask questions like 'what breaks if I refactor this class' without manually tracing thousands of dependencies.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+ installed
- .NET Runtime 8.0+ installed
- npm (for the gdep-mcp MCP server package) or the install scripts from the repository
- A game project codebase (UE5, Unity, or Axmol) on disk
- An MCP client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor IDE
Clone the repository
Clone the gdep repository to your machine. The repo contains both the CLI tool and the MCP server wrapper.
git clone https://github.com/pirua-game/ai_game_base_analysis_cli_mcp_tool.git
cd ai_game_base_analysis_cli_mcp_toolRun the platform installer
Use the provided install script for your OS. It installs the Python CLI, the .NET runtime components, and the npm MCP server package.
# macOS / Linux
chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
# Windows
install.batAlternatively, install the MCP server via npm
If you only need the MCP server (not the full CLI), install the gdep-mcp npm package globally.
npm install -g gdep-mcpConfigure your MCP client
Add the gdep MCP server to your claude_desktop_config.json or equivalent. The PYTHONUTF8 env var ensures correct encoding on all platforms.
{
"mcpServers": {
"gdep": {
"command": "gdep-mcp",
"env": {
"PYTHONUTF8": "1"
}
}
}
}Initialize a project context
Point the tool at your game project. The get_project_context tool (or 'gdep init' CLI command) will scan the project and populate the wiki cache.
gdep init /path/to/your/game/projectRun an architecture scan or impact analysis
Use the CLI or ask your AI assistant to analyze the project. Results are cached in SQLite with FTS5 for fast repeated queries.
gdep scan /path/to/project --circular --top 15
gdep impact /path/to/project MyPlayerControllerAI Game Base Analysis Examples

}Prompts to try
Sample prompts to use with the gdep MCP server connected to your AI assistant.
- "Get the project context for my UE5 game at /Users/me/projects/MyGame"
- "Analyze the impact and risk of refactoring the PlayerController class"
- "Trace the gameplay flow starting from the BeginPlay method in BP_GameMode"
- "Inspect the architectural health of my project and list any circular dependencies"
- "Find all callers of the TakeDamage method across the codebase"
- "Suggest lint fixes for the WeaponSystem class using the 19 built-in lint rules"Troubleshooting AI Game Base Analysis
gdep-mcp command not found after npm install
Ensure the npm global bin directory is in your PATH. Run 'npm bin -g' to find the directory and add it to your shell profile, then restart your terminal.
.NET Runtime error when starting the analysis engine
Install .NET Runtime 8.0+ from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download. The gdep analysis engine requires it for the DLL-backed scan. Run 'dotnet --version' to verify the install.
Project scan returns no results or misidentifies the engine type
Run 'gdep detect /path/to/project' to check auto-detection. If the engine is misidentified, ensure the project has standard UE5 (.uproject), Unity (Assets/ folder), or Axmol markers at the root level.
