Codebase Memory MCP Overview

DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp indexes source code, documentation, configuration, and infrastructure into a persistent local knowledge graph. Its MCP tools support symbol and text search, Cypher graph queries, caller and callee tracing, architecture inspection, code snippets, file outlines, snapshot comparison, and Git change impact analysis. Parsing covers more than 150 languages and uses vendored grammars with Hybrid LSP type resolution for supported languages. Reach for it when an agent needs repository-scale context, cross-service relationships, or bounded structural results instead of repeatedly reading files.

Primary Use Cases for Codebase Memory MCP:
  • Index a repository for agent-assisted code navigation
  • Trace callers, callees, and cross-service paths
  • Inspect architecture, dependencies, routes, and hotspots
  • Map Git changes to potentially affected code
