Aletheore Overview

Aletheore MCP server exposes repository intelligence through a local stdio MCP service with 36 tools by default. It queries evidence produced by Aletheore's deterministic scanner, including module structure, symbols, dependencies, ownership, clusters, dead code, hotspots, and search results, and can trigger scans or indexing. Use it when a coding agent needs structured repository context without repeatedly shelling out; the service can watch files and rescan in the background.

Primary Use Cases for Aletheore:

Inspect module and symbol relationships from a coding agent
Trace dependencies and repository ownership
Search source code with full-text or semantic queries
Identify dead code and code hotspots
