Short answer

How can I check my DVC repository and workspace mappings?

Your AI pulls a full list of projects and then inspects the details of each one to ensure they match your organization's structure. You'll get a clear view of where your physical repositories sit within your project hierarchy.

Audit outcomes

What you'll find.

The AI identifies where your data structure is solid and where it's messy.

INVENTORY

Complete project list

The AI pulls every project in your DVC environment. You'll see exactly what exists in your system.

DETAILS

Project configurations

The AI retrieves specific metadata for individual projects. This shows how each one is actually set up.

DISCREPANCIES

Mapping mismatches

The AI flags where a repository doesn't match your intended workspace structure. You'll know exactly what's out of place.

HUMAN

Manual corrections

The AI identifies the gaps but doesn't change anything. You'll need to manually fix any misaligned repositories.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of data retrieval so you can spot structural issues.

  1. Gather project list

    The AI scans your DVC environment to find all available projects.

    list_projects

  2. Fetch project metadata

    The AI pulls the specific configuration for a project you've identified.

    get_project

  3. Analyze mappings

    The AI compares the project details against your workspace requirements.

    get_project

  4. Identify gaps

    The AI highlights projects that are missing or incorrectly mapped.

    list_projects

FAQ

How the audit behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI fix my project mappings?

    No. The AI can only read project data. You have to make any structural changes yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete a project if it's misconfigured?

    No. This MCP does not have any tools for deleting or modifying projects.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which project to look at?

    You tell the AI which project you want to inspect, and it uses that name to pull the right data.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my actual data files?

    No. The AI only accesses project metadata and the list of available projects.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Cursor or Claude?

    Yes. Any MCP-compatible client will work once you've connected the DVC MCP.
