Why people use Architectural Constraint Enforcer
Stop Spaghetti Code with Architectural Constraint Enforcer
This MCP turns your agent into a structural gatekeeper. Instead of manually tracing imports or squinting at dependency graphs, you just ask your agent to verify the changes. You get a clear 'yes' or 'no' based on the actual AST of your code, ensuring your architecture stays exactly how you designed it.
What Vinkius changes
You get a deterministic way to automate architectural linting through your AI agent.
Use it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or another AI client you already have.

Before you connect
Questions about Architectural Constraint Enforcer.
The practical details behind the request, access and result.
How can the Architectural Constraint Enforcer MCP help my code reviews?
It acts as an automated reviewer that catches structural errors. Instead of you manually checking if imports are correct, your agent can verify every file against your specific architectural rules instantly.
Can I use the Architectural Constraint Enforcer MCP with Cursor or VS Code?
Yes. You can connect this MCP to any compatible client like Cursor, VS Code, or Claude, allowing your agent to perform structural analysis directly within your development environment.
Will the Architectural Constraint Enforcer MCP prevent circular dependencies?
Yes. It uses dependency graph traversal to identify and block illegal relationships between modules, preventing the circular loops that often break large projects.
How does this MCP check if my code follows my specific rules?
It uses deterministic AST analysis. This means it looks at the actual structure of your code's syntax tree to ensure it matches the constraints you have defined for your project.
Can I get a full report on my project's structural health?
Yes. You can request a high-level summary that provides a compliance score and highlights specific areas where the codebase is deviating from your intended architecture.
How does the capability detect circular dependencies?
The capability builds a mathematical dependency graph from your source code and uses cycle detection algorithms to identify any loops where modules depend on each other.
Can I enforce specific naming conventions?
Yes, you can use the structural tier rules to enforce conventions like PascalCase for components or specific file-system organization.
What is the difference between the validation capabilities?
Use validate_file_compliance_tool for granular file checks, check_module_relationships_tool for testing a single dependency link, and get_project_compliance_summary_tool for a full project overview.
