Alternatives to pyscn
pyscn is a MCP server by ludo-technologies: Python code analysis for AI agents: complexity, dead code, clones, coupling, and a health score. If it doesn't fit your setup, these 12 MCP servers cover similar ground. They are ordered by how closely they match pyscn and by our rank, which weighs adoption, freshness and documentation; money never changes the order. Skylos leads the list (most GitHub stars here (849); most weekly downloads here (19.3K)). 5 offer a remote endpoint, so there is nothing to install locally. Each entry shows data reasons to switch, and you can open a side-by-side comparison with pyscn.
