Codebase Memory MCP Overview

DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp MCP server indexes repositories into a persistent local knowledge graph for code exploration. It combines tree-sitter parsing with Hybrid LSP analysis to map symbols, calls, routes, and cross-service relationships, then exposes structured search and traversal tools over MCP. Reach for it when file-by-file search is too broad and you need call paths, change impact, architecture context, or source snippets. It runs locally without a hosted service, language runtime, or API key.
