Inspect callable tools, capabilities, and parameters exposed to AI agents by Grasp — Codebase Analysis & Architecture Intelligence.
grasp_analyzeFull analysis of any repo or local path — returns `session_id` for follow-up queries
grasp_sessionsList active sessions (persist 7 days, survive restarts)
grasp_diffCompare two snapshots — what changed between analyses?
grasp_watchRe-analyse a directory and diff against a prior run
grasp_rules_checkRun `grasp.yml` architecture rules and report violations
grasp_config_checkValidate a session against architecture rules — returns violations

What's New in v3.21.0
New — Multimodal Knowledge Graph (MCP server). Seven new MCP tools ingest your documents — PDF, DOCX, XLSX, HTML, images (OCR), audio/video (local Whisper via @xenova/transformers + ffmpeg), YouTube, and URLs — alongside your code into a queryable knowledge graph, then answer natural-language questions with citations: grasp_ingest, grasp_kg_ask, grasp_kg_trace, grasp_kg_explain, grasp_kg_stats, grasp_kg_export, grasp_llm_status. A local-first multi-LLM layer auto-detects Ollama before any cloud key and falls back to a zero-credential deterministic engine. Server-side only (Node MCP server, not the browser app) — see Multimodal Knowledge Graph under Code Intelligence.
+3 native AST languages — Bash, Elixir, and Julia take tree-sitter-backed function extraction, call counting, and complexity scoring to 19 languages.
Optional MCP-over-HTTP bridge — set GRASP_HTTP_MCP=1 to expose the MCP server over Streamable HTTP (bearer-token auth) so a whole team can share one Grasp instance instead of each running their own stdio server.
Previously in v3.20.0: Full security scanning suite — grasp_vulnerabilities covers 5 threat vectors (OSV.dev dependency CVEs, NIST NVD container/runtime CVEs, local supply-chain integrity checks, Socket.dev behavioral analysis, and scheduled grasp_vuln_watch monitoring) with skip_container / skip_socket / skip_integrity fast-scan flags.
Previously in v3.19.0: Full visual + UX parity between team-dashboard.html and index.html — teal brand sweep, SVG icons, 7-provider auth, mobile More menu, keyboard shortcut popover.
Previously in v3.18.0: 9 new MCP tools (graph analytics + LLM-context), 11 graph export formats, TypeScript path-alias + Python import resolvers, Claude Code slash commands, token-reduction eval harness (3,241× on got@v14).
Total as of v3.21.0: 150 MCP tools · 8 Resources · 2 Prompts · 35 languages · 11 graph export formats · 10 graph views · multimodal knowledge graph · 19 themes.
What is Grasp?
Grasp turns any GitHub or GitLab repository — cloud or self-hosted — or local codebase into an interactive architecture map in seconds. 150 MCP tools (plus 8 Resources and 2 guided Prompts) expose the full analysis engine to Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible agent.
