Dendro React — Tools Reference

Full reference for all 36 MCP tools. Your AI assistant discovers these automatically via get_usage_guide — you don't need to memorize them.

Getting Started (3 tools)

Tool	What it does
`get_usage_guide`	Get recommended workflows, tool categories, sequencing rules, and tips for using Dendro MCP effectively.
`get_usage_stats`	Show local tool usage statistics.
`get_context_pack`	Whole-repo orientation in one dense CTX-PACK/0.1 text block (~200-400 tokens): directory rollups with lines-of-code and 6-month commit heat, the largest and …

Composite (6 tools)

Tool	What it does
`analyze_codebase`	Comprehensive codebase analysis in one call.
`quick_audit`	Quick health check for a React codebase.
`visualize_analysis`	Open the visualizer and auto-highlight based on analysis focus.
`run_workflow`	Guided persona-driven analysis playbooks.
`get_component_contract`	Call this BEFORE editing a component — its full contract in one call: props (from the TypeScript type when resolvable, destructuring otherwise), state variab…
`get_modified_components`	What changed, as components: every file changed vs a git ref (default HEAD — uncommitted work; pass base:"main" for PR scope) with the components each declares.

Static Analysis (13 tools)

Tool	What it does
`get_component_tree`	Start here for structure.
`get_component_details`	Get detailed info about a single React component file: type (functional/class), state variables, imports, and direct children.
`detect_circular_deps`	Detect circular import dependencies.
`get_used_by`	Find every component that imports the given component — its dependents / reverse dependency graph.
`get_prop_flow`	Trace how a prop flows from a source component down through its children, tracking renames and pass-through HOCs.
`get_hook_deps`	Analyze React hook dependencies in a component file.
`get_navigation_structure`	Parse the declaratively-defined routing structure.
`get_context_map`	Map React Context providers to their consumers: createContext(), Provider usage, useContext(), custom context hooks.
`get_screen_components`	Map which screens use which components in a React Native codebase.
`get_complexity_report`	Score every component's complexity (1-10) from ITS OWN declaration span — lines, JSX depth, props, and hooks are counted per component, so co-located compone…
`get_rerender_risks`	Detect React re-render anti-patterns: inline objects/arrays/functions in JSX props, missing useCallback/useMemo.
`find_state_owner`	Find which component(s) own a given state variable by name.
`batch_analysis`	Run multiple analyses across multiple entry files in one call.

Visualization (3 tools)

Tool	What it does
`open_visualizer`	Open the Dendro visualizer webview in VS Code.
`visualize_batch`	Execute multiple visualization commands in sequence.
`export_analysis`	Export Dendro analysis in one of four formats: "mermaid" (flowchart syntax for docs), "json" (enriched multi-analysis document), "svg" (color-coded diagram i…

Runtime (live app) (10 tools)

Tool	What it does
`get_runtime_status`	Check runtime connection status.
`get_live_tree`	Get the live component tree from a connected React Native app.
`get_runtime_state`	Find a component in the live runtime tree by name.
`inspect_live_component`	Deep inspect a running component's props, state, hooks, and context values.
`trace_live_prop`	Trace live prop changes through the component tree and animate in the visualizer.
`get_live_navigation`	Get live navigation state — which screens are mounted (active) vs defined but not visible.
`modify_runtime_state`	Modify a component's props/state/hooks/context at runtime.
`trigger_projection`	Diff runtime snapshots and project downstream effects.
`verify_state_flows`	Verified Projection in one call: generate testable state-flow hypotheses from static analysis, write Jest tests for them, run the tests, and annotate the vis…
`manage_snapshots`	Analysis snapshots for historical tracking, one tool, three actions: "save" (run analyses and store under .dendro/snapshots/ — requires entryFile), "list" (m…

Feedback (1 tool)

Tool	What it does
`submit_feedback`	Send a feedback debrief about Dendro to its maker.
