How to Set Up and Use Daipendency
Daipendency is an MCP server that gives AI coding assistants instant access to the narrative and API documentation for the exact versions of your Rust project's dependencies. Rather than relying on outdated training data or generic documentation, it reads your project's Cargo.lock file and fetches precise, version-matched documentation so you get accurate answers about the APIs you're actually using. It exposes a single focused tool — get_dependency_docs — that extracts both human-readable narrative and structured API signatures for any crate in your dependency tree.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher (the MCP server is built in TypeScript/Node.js)
- A Rust project with a Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock file
- npx available (comes with Node.js/npm)
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
No separate installation required
Daipendency uses npx to run on demand — there is no global install step. The package @daipendency/mcp is fetched and cached automatically on first use.
npx -y @daipendency/mcpConfigure your MCP client
Add the server to your MCP client configuration file. Point the working directory at your Rust project root so the server can find your Cargo.lock file.
{
"mcpServers": {
"daipendency": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@daipendency/mcp"]
}
}
}Open your Rust project in the MCP client
Ensure your MCP client is opened with your Rust project as the working directory, or that the client can access the Cargo.lock file. The server reads this file to determine which crate versions to fetch documentation for.
Verify the tool is available
Restart your MCP client and confirm the get_dependency_docs tool appears. You can then ask about any crate listed in your Cargo.lock.
Daipendency Examples
Client configuration
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json (macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json)
{
"mcpServers": {
"daipendency": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@daipendency/mcp"]
}
}
}Prompts to try
Example prompts to use once connected to a Rust project
- "Get the documentation for the tokio crate in my project and explain how to use async channels"
- "Show me the API docs for serde_json at the exact version in my Cargo.lock"
- "What are the available methods on reqwest::Client according to my pinned version?"
- "Explain the axum router API from the version I'm currently using"
- "Get docs for the sqlx crate and show me how to run a typed query"Troubleshooting Daipendency
get_dependency_docs returns an error saying it cannot find Cargo.lock
The server needs to run from your Rust project root. If using Claude Desktop, ensure the client is started in the correct directory, or configure the 'cwd' option in your MCP config to point to your project root.
Documentation is returned for the wrong version of a crate
The server reads Cargo.lock (not Cargo.toml) to find the exact pinned version. Make sure you have run 'cargo build' or 'cargo check' at least once to generate or update the lockfile before querying.
npx is slow to start the server on first use
The first run downloads and caches the @daipendency/mcp package. Subsequent starts are fast. If you want to pre-cache it, run 'npx -y @daipendency/mcp' once manually from your terminal.
