Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@codebadgerbuild a CPG for https://github.com/example/vulnapp and find taint flows from user input to SQL"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
🦡 codebadger
codebadger is a containerized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents and LLMs deep, queryable access to a codebase's structure and data flow through Joern Code Property Graphs (CPGs).
Point it at a Git repository, a local path, or even a pasted code snippet, and codebadger builds a CPG and exposes it over MCP — so an assistant can run CPGQL queries, trace data flow and taint, slice programs, and hunt for vulnerabilities across Java, C/C++, JavaScript, Python, Go, Kotlin, C#, Ghidra, Jimple, PHP, Ruby, and Swift.
It's a general-purpose foundation for both program analysis (understanding code structure, call graphs, and data flow) and vulnerability analysis (taint tracking, bug hunting, and PoC development) — useful for academic research as well as industry security and engineering work. It's built to scale to large analysis batches with per-CPG worker pools, memory-aware scheduling, and a Postgres/Redis backend.
News
codebadger and its paper - Bridging Code Property Graphs and Language Models for Program Analysis - were accepted at the Software Vulnerability Management Workshop @ ICSE 2026. 🎉
