AI Dead Code Elimination MCP for Cursor

0 stars PythonOthers Updated Feb 9, 2026

Documentation

CodeReaper

CodeReaper is an AI-driven MCP tool for Cursor that finds and removes dead JavaScript by exploring real UIs and capturing V8 coverage.

Key Features

  • Autonomous UI exploration via the Index browser agent
  • V8 precise coverage to identify zero-execution functions
  • Risk scoring and removal recommendations
  • Patch generation and optional verification replay
  • MCP integration for Cursor workflows

Quick Install

bash
pip install codereaper
playwright install chromium
codereaper

When you first run `codereaper`, it prompts for your Gemini API key and saves it in your global `~/.cursor/mcp.json` so Cursor can invoke it later.

Alternative Install

bash
# pipx
pipx run codereaper

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.11+
  • Playwright Chromium (installed via `playwright install chromium`)
  • A Gemini API key (or OpenAI / Anthropic if you change providers)

Quick Start

1. Install and run `codereaper` (it updates `~/.cursor/mcp.json`)

2. Restart Cursor

3. Ask the assistant:

> "Find dead JavaScript code on http://localhost:3000"

Usage

Command:

bash
codereaper

Example scan with local source mapping:

> "Find dead code on http://localhost:3000, source is in ./test_site"

MCP Tools

ToolDescription
`find_dead_code`Full pipeline: scan + analyze. Returns dead-code report with file paths, line numbers, risk scores, and removal recommendations.
`scan_website`Scan only (no analysis). Returns scan_id for later use.
`analyze_dead_code`Analyze a completed scan. Takes scan_id.
`generate_patches`Generate unified diffs to remove dead code (conservative / balanced / aggressive).
`get_patch_diff`Retrieve the combined diff for a patch.
`apply_patch`Apply a patch to source files (stores snapshots for rollback).
`verify_patch`Re-run the browser agent to check for regressions after patching.
`rollback_patch`Restore original files from pre-patch snapshots.
`list_scans`List recent scans.
`get_scan_status`Get detailed status of a scan.

Troubleshooting

  • If the browser doesn’t open, install Chromium: `playwright install chromium`
  • If the scan fails with key errors, ensure `GEMINI_API_KEY` exists in `~/.cursor/mcp.json`
  • If local pages don’t load, confirm your dev server is running and reachable
  • If Gemini rate limits hit, retry after the quota window resets

Update
