Autotask vs Codebase Memory MCP
A side-by-side look at the Autotask and Codebase Memory MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Autotask for support & service management work as a local process; choose Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

index_repositoryIndex a repository. full/moderate add semantics; fast omits them; cross-repo-intelligence links services. Reports coverage gaps.search_graphFind symbols via BM25 query, regex name/qn filters, or semantic_query. Rows keep qn/file/lines and in/out over CALLS/USAGE/CALL_REFERENCE/INHERITS/IMPLEMENTS.query_graphRead-only Cypher for multi-hop, aggregation, complexity, or cross-service analysis. Default: 200 visible rows with exact/lower-bound totals and truncation; continue safely with next_cursor. graph=missed is a file tree of flagged coverage gaps; absence is not proof of completeness. Use get_graph_schema(diagnostics=full) for properties.trace_pathTrace callers/callees, data flow, or cross-service paths. Defaults exclude tests and resolver evidence. Rows keep qn/hop with explicit totals, relations, and continuations.get_code_snippetRead a search_graph symbol. auto bounds source and outlines large containers; full restores up to 500 lines. Source/outline pages continue; coverage_note marks gaps.get_file_outlineDeclaration outline of one exact repository-relative file: optional exact label filter, source order, exact total/offset/limit paging; file/folder/container nodes excluded.get_graph_schemaGet node-label and edge-type counts. diagnostics=full also lists queryable properties.compare_graphsCompare two indexed snapshots: deterministic target-only additions and base-only removals of stable node/edge identities; each set capped by limit and a 512 KiB budget with exact totals and truncation reasons.get_architectureCompact counts, languages, packages, entry points. Request structure, dependencies, routes, hotspots, boundaries, layers, clusters, cycles, or file_tree; path scopes a directory.search_codeGraph-ranked text search: compact symbols, full bounded source, or file paths.list_projectsList projects with stable paging. Identity is lean; stats adds graph sizes.delete_projectDelete a project from the index- +5 more on the listing page
