Codebase Memory MCP vs Levea MCP Server

A side-by-side look at the Codebase Memory MCP and Levea MCP Server MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.

Codebase Memory MCP logoCodebase Memory MCPKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Code-intelligence engine that indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links. 159 languages via tree-sitter + Hybrid LSP, sub-ms structural queries, 99% fewer tokens than grep. Single static binary, zero dependencies, 100% local. npx codebase-memory-mcp75GreatAuth: no auth requiredLevea MCP Server logoLevea MCP ServerKnowledge & Memory · Local subprocess (stdio)Autonomous AI video editor over MCP: viral clips, captions, reframe, chroma key, MP4 export67GreatAuth: api key required

Verdict: choose Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory work as a local process; choose Levea MCP Server for knowledge & memory as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

Tools & capabilities

Codebase Memory MCP tools 17

  • 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

Levea MCP Server tools 25

  • autonomous_editPRIMARY EDIT TOOL. Run a natural-language video edit end-to-end. The backend agent plans, executes, verifies, and exports. Accepts anything from a one-liner ("generate 3 viral clips with captions and export") to a multi-paragraph creative brief. Returns the final mp4 URL synchronously when an export is queued. For long renders you may prefer queue_edit + check_job_status.
  • autonomous_edit_streamingSame as autonomous_edit but consumes the SSE event stream from the backend. Returns the final terminal result; per-step events (status, thinking, tool_call, tool_result, background_job_completed) are emitted as MCP progress notifications when the client supports them. Use for long-running briefs where users expect live progress.
  • queue_editFire-and-forget async path. Returns immediately with a `taskId`. Use when the edit may exceed the MCP request timeout (long viral-clip generation, multi-format export). Poll with check_task_status or get_active_task.
  • check_job_statusPoll an export / async job by jobId (numeric). Supports wait:true to block until terminal.
  • check_task_statusPoll a queued edit task by taskId (returned by queue_edit). Separate from job_id (exports).
  • get_active_taskFor a given project, return the currently-running edit task (if any). Useful for reconnecting MCP clients.
  • list_caption_templatesList the user's caption templates (builtin + saved). Returns slugs, display names, and style summaries.
  • apply_caption_templateApply a caption template to a scene synchronously (without going through autonomous_edit).
  • save_caption_templateSave a new caption template definition the user can re-apply later.
  • save_current_caption_templateSnapshot the caption styling currently applied to a project / scene as a reusable template.
  • delete_caption_templateDelete a user-saved caption template by id.
  • list_brand_kitsList the user's brand profiles (palette, fonts, logo, voice, gradeBias). Returns ids you pass to autonomous_edit's brandId / projectBrandId.

Frequently asked questions

Codebase Memory MCP is categorized under Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Levea MCP Server belongs to Knowledge & Memory and uses a local stdio subprocess. Pick Codebase Memory MCP for knowledge & memory work and Levea MCP Server for knowledge & memory.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

Codebase Memory MCP is listed as free. Auth: no auth required. Levea MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Auth: api key required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add deusdata-codebase-memory-mcp and levea-mcp-server as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.

On AllMCPs, Codebase Memory MCP has a quality signal of 75/100 (Great) with 12 views, 1 installs and 48,368 GitHub stars. Levea MCP Server has 67/100 (Great) with 5 views, 0 installs and 4 GitHub stars.
