In simple English

This tool builds a map of your entire codebase so AI programming assistants can understand it instantly. Instead of searching through dozens of files one by one, your assistant gets the exact code it needs in a single step. It runs entirely on your own computer and needs no cloud connection. You install it once, and it updates itself automatically as you edit files.

What it is

A local knowledge graph and Model Context Protocol server powered by a native Rust engine. It indexes symbols, call paths, and dependencies across twenty programming languages to speed up AI coding agents.

What it is good for

Solo developers using AI assistants who want faster answers, fewer token charges, and accurate code exploration without manual file searching.

Good
  • Dramatically reduces AI token usage and tool calls during code queries.
  • Automatically watches your files and keeps the graph up to date as you save.
  • Supports a wide range of popular programming languages and AI coding assistants.
Watch for
  • Setup requires configuring command-line tools and your specific AI editor.
  • Retains a larger persistent context in your editor session, which can crowd small windows.
  • Heavy initial indexing phase on very large repositories.
