Local build artifact size and dependency weight inspection without file content output. Tools...
Overview
Local MCP server that inspects build artifact sizes and dependency manifest metadata in a project without returning file contents.
- What you can do
- Scan a bounded local project and summarize file sizes and types, including extension histograms and largest files
- Report metadata for one recognized dependency manifest without exposing its contents or dependency versions
- Keep results within a configured root boundary, skipping Git data, dependencies, coverage and caches while including dist and build output
- When to use it
- Useful when you want an assistant to answer release questions like what is taking up space in a build, or to get a quick size and file-type breakdown of a project before shipping.
- Requirements
- Runs as a local stdio process installed from the npm package; requires Node.js and a build step. Optionally set the ARTIFACT_GAUGE_ROOT environment variable to bound scanning to a directory. No authentication or API keys declared.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Artifact Gauge Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
README
artifact-gauge-mcp
Artifact Gauge is a local MCP tool for answering a simple release question: what is taking up space? It reports artifact totals, extension histograms, largest files, and dependency manifest metadata without returning file contents.
Tools
inspect_artifacts: scan a bounded local project and summarize file sizes and types.inspect_manifest: report metadata for one recognized dependency manifest without exposing its contents or dependency versions.
Safety
- Local paths only, with
ARTIFACT_GAUGE_ROOTboundary support and symlink checks. - Skips Git data, dependencies, coverage, framework caches, and other common generated caches while intentionally including
distandbuildartifacts. - Caps recursion, file count, file size, and output.
- Never returns file contents, package versions, secrets, or source text.
- This is a size heuristic, not a complete bundler or dependency vulnerability analyzer.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.
- Auth declared10 pts
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
