Koskamo

Django Chainsaw MCP

An MCP server and CLI that statically analyzes a Django project to identify potential issues such as cascade impacts, N+1 queries, unsafe migrations, and unscoped tenant reads. It uses the AST and Django's app registry to provide deterministic results without executing code, allowing agents to query for code quality and database safety concerns.
