codebase-memory-mcp

Gives AI coding assistants a map of your code so they find things faster and use fewer tokens.

What it does

This tool builds a "knowledge graph" of a code project: a map of which files and functions exist and how they connect. It runs on your own computer.

AI coding assistants such as Claude Code and Codex can then search that map instead of opening file after file. It plugs in through MCP, a standard way to connect tools to AI assistants. Its makers report large savings in tokens, the units AI services charge by.

A browser view lets you explore the structure of a codebase visually, which its makers say helps when getting to know unfamiliar or AI-written code.
