## What it is
An interactive web UI and CLI tool for visualizing and inspecting a project's node_modules dependencies. It supports pnpm, npm, and bun projects, offers machine-readable reports, and exposes an MCP server for AI coding agents.

## Use cases
- visualize node_modules dependency graph
- find duplicate package versions in node_modules
- check which packages take the most install size
- find dependency upgrade opportunities
- inspect dependencies of an npm project
- generate a static report of node_modules
- let AI coding agents query dependency reports via MCP

## When to choose
- you use pnpm, npm, or bun and want to understand your dependency tree
- you need to debug duplicate or oversized packages in node_modules
- you want shareable static reports of your project's dependencies
- you want dependency insights exposed to AI agents via MCP

## When to avoid
- your project uses a package manager other than pnpm, npm, or bun
- you need runtime dependency monitoring in production rather than local inspection
- you need automated dependency vulnerability scanning with fix suggestions
