What is Codebase Memory MCP?

Codebase Memory MCP builds a persistent structural knowledge graph of a codebase with tree-sitter AST parsing and lightweight type resolution for 9 languages. It runs as an MCP server with 14 tools so agents query call graphs, symbols, dead code and cross-service links instead of searching files. It ships as a single static binary with SLSA Level 3 provenance and claims sub-millisecond graph queries (project's own claim).

Pros & Cons

Pros

  • Single static binary with zero runtime dependencies - no vector DB to set up first
  • SLSA Level 3 provenance and 5,600+ passing tests signal rigorous engineering
  • 158-language indexing with deep resolution for 9 languages

Cons

  • Token-reduction claims are the project's own with no third-party reproduction
  • Value is gated on MCP-capable assistant support - less useful standalone
  • Structural graph tool, not a semantic embedding search

When it is interesting

Using an MCP-capable assistant on a large or unfamiliar codebase where file search wastes context budget.

When it is too early

If you want general-purpose semantic RAG over code rather than a structural graph.
