About

Local MCP server that gives coding agents a persistent codebase knowledge graph for fast structural search and impact analysis.

Features

Indexes repositories into a local persistent knowledge graph
Supports tree-sitter parsing across 158 languages
Provides 14 MCP tools for search, trace, architecture, impact, and graph queries
Ships as a single static binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows
Runs locally without API keys for code analysis

Use Cases

Claude Code user

Give an AI coding agent fast structural context without loading entire files into the prompt.

Maintainer

Trace call chains, routes, and impact paths across a large repository.

Security reviewer

Inspect architecture and dead-code paths with local graph queries before making changes.

What This Server Can Do

MCP servers expose three types of capabilities to AI clients. Here's what codebase-memory-mcp supports.

Tools

Supported14 tools

Functions your AI client can call to perform actions — like querying a database, creating a file, or calling an API.

How to use: Tools run automatically when your AI client decides they're needed. Ask your AI assistant to perform a task, and it will invoke the right tool.
