CodeGraph: Stop Searching Code Blindly with Your AI Agents

Without CodeGraph, the pattern of an agent in your repo is always the same: grep, cat, grep, read... thousands of tokens before writing a line. CodeGraph builds an AST graph of your entire repository with tree-sitter and exposes it as an MCP server for millisecond queries.

"What would happen if I change this function?" with grep: 4-8 calls and 5,000 tokens. With codegraph_impact: 1 call and 200 tokens. codegraph_explore returns code from multiple files in a single call — from 15,000 to 3,000 tokens to understand a complete system. Local SQLite index, no external server.

Install with: npm install -g codegraph && codegraph init -i
