Gortex Overview

gortex MCP server indexes repositories into a persistent knowledge graph and exposes code-intelligence queries to AI coding agents. It supports symbol lookup, call chains, blast-radius analysis, dataflow, contracts, refactoring workflows, and code actions through a configurable MCP tool set. The engine runs locally as a single binary on macOS, Linux, and Windows, with no external dependencies or model download required. Reach for gortex when an agent needs repository-wide or cross-repository context without reading large numbers of files.

Primary Use Cases for Gortex:
  • Trace callers and callees before editing a symbol
  • Assess cross-repository blast radius for a change
  • Match service providers and consumers through detected contracts
  • Preview workspace edits without modifying files
