Scopewalker is an MCP server that provides AI coding assistants with read-only tools to analyze codebase complexity, enforce size thresholds, and detect code smells using tree-sitter parsing. It is interesting because it bridges the gap between AI-generated code and real-world code quality standards, offering a practical solution to prevent AI agents from creating overly complex or undocumented code.

Target audience: backend devs, frontend devs, devops
