The Knip MCP Server connects a coding agent to Knip, the tool that finds unused files, dependencies and exports in JavaScript and TypeScript projects. Its docs say that you tell your agent to "configure knip" and it uses the server's tools to create, analyse and optimise the project's knip.json configuration.
It offers two tools: knip-run, which runs Knip and returns configuration hints and issues, and knip-docs, which returns Knip documentation by topic. It also has a knip-configure prompt, a guided workflow for setting up Knip, and serves every page of the Knip documentation as MCP resources under knip://docs/{topic}.
It runs locally with npx @knip/mcp and needs no account or key. The same server is built into the Knip extension for VS Code and Open VSX. It is published as @knip/mcp from the Knip monorepo, by the same maker as Knip.
