🧠 CodeMemory

The Persistent Intelligence Layer for Codebases
Local-first, privacy-obsessed CLI tool and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for AI agents.

🌐 Official Website & Docs: https://codemem.vercel.app/


⚔ Key Highlights

  • šŸ”’ 100% Local & Private: Zero telemetry, zero external network calls. All intelligence stored locally in SQLite WAL mode.

  • 🌐 Interactive Web Architecture Explorer: Local visual flowchart & memory dashboard with timeline scrubbing and real-time live updates.

  • ⚔ Token Efficiency: Minimizes AI prompt token consumption by providing targeted context slices and caller graphs instead of raw file dumps.

  • šŸ” Multi-Language AST Analysis: Extracts functions, classes, interfaces, structs, and imports across TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Rust, Go, SQL, and more.

  • šŸ‘€ Real-time Live Watcher: Detects code changes instantly with 100ms debouncing and .gitignore integration.

  • šŸ¤– Native MCP Server: Ready to connect with Antigravity, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Copilot, and custom AI agents.

  • šŸ“Š Architecture Visualizer: Generates live Mermaid diagrams, Markdown documentation, and JSON maps.

šŸš€ Quick Start

1. Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/EldrexDelosReyesBula/CodeMemory.git
cd CodeMemory

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build TypeScript
npm run build

2. Basic Commands

# Initialize CodeMemory in your repository
npm run dev -- init

# Scan the current codebase and index all symbols
npm run dev -- scan

# Search for any function, class, or symbol
npm run dev -- query authenticateUser

# Extract token-budgeted AI context
npm run dev -- context AuthService --budget 2000

# Launch the interactive local Web Explorer (auto-opens browser)
npm run dev -- web
# or with explicit launch mode
npm run dev -- web --mode auto
npm run dev -- web --mode manual

# Start in background daemon mode
npm run dev -- web --daemon

# Start the live background file watcher (quiet mode available)
npm run dev -- watch
npm run dev -- watch --quiet

# Export Mermaid architecture diagram
npm run dev -- export --format mermaid

# Check repository health and statistics
npm run dev -- status

šŸ¤– Connecting to AI Agents via MCP

CodeMemory provides a full Model Context Protocol (MCP) stdio server.

Available MCP Tools

Antigravity & Claude Desktop Configuration

Add the following to your MCP configuration (mcp_config.json or claude_desktop_config.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codememory": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@eldrex/codememory", "mcp"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}

šŸ”Œ Optional Integrations

CodeMemory works 100% standalone out-of-the-box. When used alongside DevDiff, you can leverage optional integration commands:

# Verify synchronization between Git-tracked files and CodeMemory index
codememory devdiff sync

# Check for untracked or unindexed files in workspace
codememory devdiff compare

# Analyze direct and indirect caller dependencies for specific files
codememory devdiff impact src/cli.ts

# View file change records and AST symbols
codememory devdiff explain src/cli.ts

# Start Unified MCP Server (combines CodeMemory and DevDiff tools)
codememory mcp --unified
