@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@automatised-pipelineAnalyze the project at /home/user/myapp"
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.
Every AI coding assistant hits the same wall: you ask it to change handle_tool_call, and it either hallucinates a function that was renamed last week, edits something in the wrong community of the codebase, or silently breaks a call chain three modules away. Agents operate on strings; codebases have structure. The gap is where bugs live.
automatised-pipeline is a Rust MCP server that indexes any Rust, Python, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, or Go codebase into a LadybugDB property graph (Ruby is dispatched on the shallow path — node-kind rows, no deep extraction — for 11 languages in total), resolves imports and call chains across files, detects functional communities via Leiden-class community detection, traces execution flows from entry points, builds a hybrid BM25 + sparse TF-IDF + RRF search index, and exposes all of it to AI agents through 26 MCP tools.
It is the codebase intelligence layer that sits between a finding ("this bug exists") and a PRD ("here is the fix, here is what it affects, here is what it must never break"). It is read-only intelligence — it never writes code, opens PRs, or runs CI. It tells the system what is true about the code so the next stage can reason without guessing.
One pipeline stage = one MCP tool. 10 stages. 26 tools. 12,000+ lines of Rust. 1000+ tests. Zero warnings. Every constant sourced.
What an agent can ask it
analyze_codebase(path: "/path/to/project", output_dir: "/tmp/run")
→ index + resolve + cluster + build search index in one call
→ 430 nodes, 400 edges, 216 communities, 35 processes on our own codebase
search_codebase(graph_path, query: "process incoming tool requests")
→ hybrid ranked results: BM25 lexical + sparse TF-IDF semantic + RRF fusion
→ returns: handle_tool_call (score 0.021), dispatch_request (0.020), ...
get_context(graph_path, qualified_name: "src/main.rs::handle_tool_call")
→ 360° view: community membership, process participation,
incoming calls, outgoing calls, types used, types that use it
→ did-you-mean suggestions when the symbol isn't found exactly
get_impact(graph_path, qualified_name)
→ blast radius: every process that transits this symbol, every community it touches
→ the answer to "what breaks if I change this?"
detect_changes(graph_path, diff_text OR base_ref+head_ref)
→ git diff → affected symbols → impacted communities → touched processes
→ risk score for the change
validate_prd_against_graph(prd_path, graph_path)
→ does the PRD reference real symbols? (symbol hallucination check)
→ does "scoped to X" match the actual community count?
→ does "doesn't affect main" hold against the call graph?
check_security_gates(graph_path, changed_symbols)
→ auth-critical community touch · unsafe symbol · public API change ·
unresolved imports · test coverage gap
verify_semantic_diff(before_graph_path, after_graph_path)
→ what nodes/edges appeared, what disappeared, what dangles,

Getting started
Prerequisites
Rust 1.95.0 — pinned by
rust-toolchain.toml, sorustupinstalls and selects it for you; the same compiler builds CI and the releasesCMake (LadybugDB builds its C++ core from source — ~5 minutes first build, cached after)
Clone + build
git clone https://github.com/cdeust/automatised-pipeline.git
cd automatised-pipeline
cargo build --release
# First build: ~5 minutes (compiles LadybugDB C++ core)
# Subsequent builds: <1 second incrementalRegister the MCP server
The repo ships a .mcp.json that Claude Code picks up automatically when you open the directory:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-architect": {
"command": "cargo",
"args": ["run", "--quiet", "--release", "--manifest-path", "Cargo.toml", "--", "--profile", "core"]
}
}
}Or register globally (recommended agent setup — the core profile):
claude mcp add ai-architect -- /absolute/path/to/target/release/automatised-pipeline --profile coreTool profiles
The server registers one of two tool sets, chosen once at startup:
Profile | Tools | Who it's for |
| 8 — | Recommended for agents. The read-only code-intelligence surface: analyze once, then search, inspect symbols, and measure blast radius. |
| all 26 | The ai-architect pipeline orchestrator — adds the internal finding → PRD stages (1/2/4/6/8/9) and the manual graph passes ( |
Select with the --profile flag or the AP_PROFILE environment variable (the flag wins):
automatised-pipeline --profile core # agent-facing 8
AP_PROFILE=core automatised-pipeline # same, via env
automatised-pipeline # default: full (all 26)The default stays full until the next major version — shrinking the default tool surface is a breaking change. New agent installations should opt into core: analyze_codebase already runs index + resolve + cluster in one call, so the 18 hidden tools are pipeline plumbing an agent never needs, and hiding them keeps the tool prompt small.
First run
# Run the binary directly to verify the handshake
./target/release/automatised-pipeline
# Or exercise it via stdio JSON-RPC:
printf '%s\n' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{}}' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list"}' \
'{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":3,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"health_check","arguments":{}}}' \
| ./target/release/automatised-pipelineUse with other MCP hosts
The server is a self-contained stdio binary — any MCP host can launch it. Install once:
cargo install ai-architect-mcp # installs the `automatised-pipeline` binary into ~/.cargo/binInstall into your agent host (auto-config)
One command detects your installed hosts and writes the right MCP config for each — never clobbering the rest of the file:
automatised-pipeline installIt configures the top six hosts it detects: Claude Code (~/.claude.json), Codex CLI (~/.codex/config.toml), Gemini CLI (~/.gemini/settings.json), Cursor (~/.cursor/mcp.json), VS Code (Code/User/mcp.json), and Zed (~/.config/zed/settings.json).
Never clobbers. The existing config is parsed; only our
ai-architectentry is added or updated; every other server survives. A file it cannot safely parse is never overwritten — it prints the exact entry to paste by hand.Zed JSONC. Zed's
settings.jsonallows comments, which strict JSON editing would destroy, soinstallrefuses to edit it in place and prints the snippet + instructions instead (your comments stay byte-for-byte).Codex TOML is edited comment- and format-preserving (via
toml_edit).Flags:
--dry-run(print planned changes, write nothing),--only <host>/--skip <host>(filter;--onlyforces a host even if undetected),--with-hooks(also register the Grep/Glob PreToolUse hook, see below). Re-running is idempotent (a second run reports "no change").Uninstall:
automatised-pipeline uninstallremoves exactly our entries (and the hook), leaving everything else intact.
automatised-pipeline install --dry-run # preview
automatised-pipeline install --only cursor --only zed # just these
automatised-pipeline install --with-hooks # + the grep→graph hook
automatised-pipeline uninstall # remove our entriesBinary → first query. Measured on this machine (2026-07): install completes in ~1.3 s (dominated by process/DB startup; the config write itself is sub-second); analyze_codebase on this repo's own src/ (114 files → 16.5k nodes, 16.3k edges — index + resolve + cluster) takes ~12 s wall; the first search_codebase returns instantly. So once the binary exists, install → analyze → first graph query is ~15 s — well under the 2-minute target. The one-time cargo build --release (~5 min, compiling the LadybugDB C++ core) is a separate, before-the-clock step.
Fail-open grep→graph hook
automatised-pipeline install --with-hooks registers a Claude Code PreToolUse hook (matcher Grep|Glob) that runs automatised-pipeline hook-augment. Before a Grep/Glob in a project that has an ai-architect graph, it injects a one-line suggestion to consider search_codebase/query_graph first. Cardinal rule: it never blocks the tool call — no graph, an unparseable payload, or any error → it prints nothing and exits 0. Hook registration is opt-in (the --with-hooks flag), never default.
Or configure a host by hand
The CLI commands below assume ~/.cargo/bin is on your PATH. GUI hosts (Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code) may not inherit your shell PATH — in the JSON configs, replace automatised-pipeline with the output of which automatised-pipeline. Use the core profile (8 read-only tools) for agent hosts.

Every stage is a tool. Stages build on each other but are independently callable. The pipeline is serial in logical order but MCP calls are stateless — you can re-run stages 3a-3d on a fresh codebase without re-running stages 1-2.
# | Tool(s) | What it does |
0 |
| Handshake + protocol + tool count |
1 |
| Deterministic finding extraction + orchestrator-aware prompt refinement |
2 |
| Human-gated clarification loop with SHA-256 transcript digest, atomic single-file session state |
3a |
| tree-sitter AST → LadybugDB graph (16 node labels, 36+ relationship tables) |
3b |
| Import/call/impl resolution with confidence scoring + optional LSP deep resolution (rust-analyzer / pyright / typescript-language-server) |
3c |
| Leiden-class community detection (Louvain + C2 repair) + BFS execution-flow tracing from entry points |
3d |
| Hybrid BM25 + sparse TF-IDF + RRF search · 360° symbol view · all-in-one analysis · git-diff impact |
4 |
| Bundle verified finding + graph intel → artifact for prd-spec-generator |
6 |
| Symbol hallucination · community consistency · process-impact contradiction |
8 |
| Auth-critical community · unsafe symbol · public-API change · unresolved-import intro · test-coverage gap |
9 |
| Before/after graph diff with Tarjan SCC cycle detection and regression scoring |
Stages 5 (PRD generation), 7 (implementation), 10 (benchmark), 11 (deployment), 12 (PR) belong to other systems in the pipeline: prd-spec-generator, the coding agent, CI, and
gh. This project is the read-only intelligence half.
26 MCP Tools
Every tool takes structured JSON arguments via the MCP protocol and returns a structured JSON response. No LLM is called from inside any tool — intelligence is the agent's job; the tool's job is safe, fast data movement with invariants.
Stage 0: health_check
Stage 1: extract_finding · refine_finding
Stage 2: start_verification · append_clarification · finalize_verification · abort_verification
Stage 3: ingest_traces
Stage 3a: index_codebase · index_status · query_graph · get_symbol
Stage 3b: resolve_graph · lsp_resolve
Stage 3c: cluster_graph · get_processes · get_impact
Stage 3d: search_codebase · get_context · analyze_codebase · detect_changes
Stage 3e: index_history
Stage 4: prepare_prd_input
Stage 6: validate_prd_against_graph
Stage 8: check_security_gates
Stage 9: verify_semantic_diffEach tool has a JSON Schema enforced at the wire, reason codes on error (no cryptic protocol errors), and a receipt-style response with timing and counts.
Agent installs rarely need all 26 — the
coreprofile (see Tool profiles) registers just the 8 code-intelligence tools.
Team-shared graph artifact (optional)
index_codebase can commit a compressed snapshot of the graph so teammates who
clone the repo never have to cold-index it.
index_codebasewith"export_artifact": truewrites, after a successful index, atar → zstdsnapshot to<path>/.automatised-pipeline/graph.zstplus agraph.meta.jsonsidecar (schema version, git sha, tool version, node/edge counts). It also appends a.gitattributesentry (.automatised-pipeline/graph.zst binary merge=ours) so the committed binary never produces merge conflicts across branches. Commit both files.index_codebasewith"bootstrap": true— when there is no local graph at<output_dir>/graphbut a committed artifact is present — decompresses the snapshot instead of cold-indexing. Staleness is checked first by comparing the artifact's git sha with the repo's current HEAD:shas equal → import;
shas differ → by default the import is refused and a full index runs; a stderr line reports how many commits behind the artifact is, and the tool response carries a
bootstrap_skippedobject;"accept_stale": true→ import the stale snapshot anyway, and the response carries astale_artifact{artifact_sha, head_sha, commits_behind}report so a stale graph is never mistaken for a fresh one.
An import failure also falls back to a full index explicitly (logged to stderr), never a silent partial graph.
All three flags default to false, so existing behavior and the core/core8
profiles are unchanged. The artifact is entirely optional: without it,
index_codebase cold-indexes exactly as before.
Post-import incremental fill (re-index only the
artifact_commit..HEADdiff instead of a full re-index) is tracked in #62 — it needs a changed-files-only indexer, which AP does not yet have.

Sixteen crates. Nothing speculative; everything justified.
Crate | Purpose | License | Why |
| Wire serialization | MIT | JSON-RPC, artifact persistence |
| Stage-2 transcript digest | MIT | Tamper detection |
| Embedded property graph + Cypher | MIT | Native Cypher, FTS-ready, the Kùzu successor |
| Incremental parser runtime | MIT | First-class Rust bindings |

| Lucene-grade BM25 | MIT | Real ranked text search, <10ms startup |
Deliberately not included: async runtime (we're stdio-blocking), HTTP client, LLM SDK, embedding model runtime (sparse TF-IDF replaces it at zero dep cost).
Storage
Graphs are per-finding by design (Lamport's isolation invariant): each finding gets its own LadybugDB instance at <output_dir>/runs/<run_id>/findings/<finding_id>/graph/. Zero-coordination concurrency, trivial cleanup, no cross-finding state leakage. Redundant indexing for shared codebases is acknowledged and mitigated in a later optional cache layer — not shoehorned into the core.
Configuration — max_db_size
Every LadybugDB Database this crate opens reserves virtual address space up front, sized by max_db_size. lbug's own default (SystemConfig::default()) is 1 << 43 = 8 TiB per instance; with graph_cache's MAX_CACHED_GRAPHS = 8 entries live in the read-path cache at once, that is a 64 TiB worst case (issue #25). src/graph_store.rs::system_config() is the single choke point every GraphStore::open_or_create call resolves through, in this precedence order:
AP_LBUG_TEST_MAX_DB_SIZE— test-only, set for everycargo testprocess via.cargo/config.toml's[env]table (512 MiB /2^29, issue #21). Always wins when present, socargo testbehavior is independent of the production knob below.AP_LBUG_MAX_DB_SIZE— production override, unset by default. Bytes, must be a power of two and at least 8 MiB (lbug's ownBufferManager::verifySizeParamsfloor). An invalid value is rejected with an actionable error atGraphStore::open_or_createtime — never a silent fallback.Default: 8 GiB (
1 << 33bytes) when neither var is set. Derivation: measured every lbug graph-DB file reachable on the machine that produced this fix (75 distinct graphs — see the table below); the largest was 495,849,472 bytes (~473 MiB, a cortex-viz index run includingnode_modules). Sizing rule: next power of two ≥ (largest measured × 16), floor 8 GiB.473 MiB × 16≈ 7.39 GiB is below the floor, so the floor (already a power of two) applies.
Re-measure and raise AP_LBUG_MAX_DB_SIZE (or the compiled-in default) if a materially larger workload is observed in production — e.g. indexing a monorepo with node_modules included.
Measured graph sizes (2026-07-15, du -k on every graph file found under ~/.cache/cortex/code-graphs/*/graph, ~/.cortex/ap_graph/graph, and **/.prd-gen/graphs/*/graph), top 10 of 75:
Graph | Size |
| 473 MiB |
| 472 MiB |
| 460 MiB |
| 147 MiB |
| 144 MiB |
| 143 MiB |
| 142 MiB |
| 126 MiB |
| 126 MiB |
| 124 MiB |
Total across all 75 measured graphs: ~4.87 GiB. Every graph other than the top 3 (which include node_modules) is under 150 MiB — the node_modules-inclusive runs are the actual worst case driving the sizing rule above.
The zetetic standard
Inherited from zetetic-team-subagents. Not a prompt suggestion — an enforcement rule that holds in code.
Pillar | Question |
Logical | Is it consistent? |
Critical | Is it true? |
Rational | Is it useful? |
Essential | Is it necessary? |
In this codebase it concretely means:
Every algorithm traces to a source. Louvain → Blondel et al. 2008. Leiden C2 repair → Traag et al. 2019. RRF → Cormack, Clarke, Büttcher 2009. SCC → Tarjan 1972. BM25 via Tantivy → Robertson et al. 1994.
Every named constant has a
// source:comment.RRF_K = 60cites Cormack 2009.BULK_BATCH_SIZE = 500cites Kùzu/LadybugDB tuning.PARSE_TIMEOUT_MICROS = 5_000_000is justified in the block above it.No invented numbers. Where a value was chosen by judgment, the comment says so ("heuristic, not paper-backed") and cites its operational justification.
Tool responses cite the spec that governs each error reason.
unsafe finding_id (spec §5.1.4, §9.3 Q4): must match [A-Za-z0-9._-]+— callers see which rule they violated.When a capability can't be proved at spec time, the tool degrades gracefully and says so in plain language. Example:
lsp_resolveon a stub binary returnslsp_probe_failed: found on PATH but didn't respond as an LSP server (stdout closed immediately; likely a stub, proxy, or non-LSP binary)— not a cryptic protocol error.

Scale
Re-measured 2026-07-28 on the current dependency (lbug 0.18, rustc 1.95.0,
macOS 26.5.1 arm64) by re-running the dba agent's nine compile-and-run probes
— cargo test --release --test lbug_bulk_investigation -- --nocapture, 199
edges per strategy. The ranking is the same one the original 0.15.3 run found;
the absolute figures are not comparable across the two runs, because both the
engine version and the machine changed.
Strategy | ms/edge |
Raw string per edge (naive) | 9.658 |
Prepared statement, no transaction | 6.924 |
| 0.328 |
UNWIND + typed | 0.127 |
The chosen path is 76× faster than the naive one on this measurement.
The bulk-insert path uses UNWIND with a typed struct schema (the engineer who wrote the first version used LogicalType::Any which fails the binder — the typed struct form works). Prepared statements are cached in a RefCell<HashMap<query, PreparedStatement>> on the GraphStore. Sparse TF-IDF replaces the dense N × V × 4B matrix — 30.5× smaller on our own codebase (108 KB vs 3.2 MB) and scales linearly with non-zero terms rather than vocab size. Clustering eliminated probe_node_label_for_process (per-node Cypher round-trip) in favor of a single in-memory HashMap<id, label> population pass.
500-file synthetic Rust fixture indexes in ~38 seconds end-to-end (parse + resolve + cluster + search index), down from the pre-audit implied "5 min – 1 hour" bracket.
Falsifiable evidence — graph tools vs a Grep/Glob/Read baseline
The core proposition — a graph query beats file-by-file exploration — is
measured, not asserted. benchmarks/eval_headtohead/ is a pre-registered
(PRE_REGISTRATION.md, committed before execution), two-condition, head-to-head
evaluation over a committed 4-language corpus (Python, TypeScript, Go, Rust), 20
questions across 5 capability dimensions. Every number below is a field in
benchmarks/eval_headtohead/results.json, regenerable by
benchmarks/eval_headtohead/reproduce.sh (no network, no API key). Provenance and
the honest negative are in that folder's MANIFEST.md.
metric (mean ± stdev, n=20) | AP graph tools | Grep/Glob/Read baseline | source field |
retrieval precision | 1.00 ± 0.00 | 0.65 ± 0.33 |
|
tokens consumed (est.) | 36.7 ± 19.8 | 550.4 ± 330.3 |
|
tool calls | 1.0 ± 0.0 | 5.2 ± 1.6 |
|
token ratio (baseline / graph) | 17.4× | — |
|
tool-call ratio | 5.2× | — |
|
Pre-registered hypotheses H1 (tokens), H2 (tool calls), H3 (precision on impact
queries) are SUPPORTED; H4 (recall no-regression) is FALSIFIED and we say
so: the graph's recall is 0.83 vs the substring baseline's 1.00, because AP misses
a Go program entry (get_processes classification), some cross-language
type-usage edges, and a Rust higher-order call. Those four lost questions are in
raw_results.json — a sweep that reports only wins is not evidence. The
blinded LLM-as-a-Judge answer-quality leg is config-gated (AP_EVAL_JUDGE_CMD)
and was budget-gated off for the published run; the deterministic
precision/recall/token/tool-call numbers above stand on their own.

└── README.mdThe zetetic decisions behind the build
Every major architectural decision was made by a genius agent with a specific problem shape. Stored in stages/decisions/*.md and in Cortex.
Decision | Agent | Verdict |
Rust vs C/C++ for the glue layer | Popper | Conjecture "Rust is the right language" is unfalsified. |
Graph-per-finding vs graph-per-codebase | Lamport | Per-finding. Isolation holds by construction with zero coordination; the redundant-indexing cost is mitigable in an optional cache layer later. |
Stage 3a decomposition | Simon | Five steps, satisficed against the growth rule; first useful query at step 4. |
DB backend choice | dba | LadybugDB (evaluated at |
Stage 2 clarification loop shape | Shannon | Four-tool state machine with atomic single-file session (no crash window between separate files), unconditional one-round-minimum before finalize. |
lbug UNWIND pattern | dba |
|
Agents are spawned via zetetic-team-subagents; each genius is a reasoning pattern (not a persona) with canonical moves and primary-source citations.
Status
Public repo, MIT licensed. Security audit fixes are in, correctness fixes are in, scale fixes are in, stages 4/6/8/9 are live, but every capability marked "live" above has been verified end-to-end on this machine, not yet in a production context.
What works today: indexing Rust, Python, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Objective-C, C, C++, and Go codebases end-to-end, resolving cross-file relationships, clustering into communities, tracing processes from entry points, hybrid search, PRD input preparation, PRD claim validation, security gate checking, before/after regression detection.
What's deferred:
Cross-file indexer batching to unlock the full 38× UNWIND win (currently 1.17× aggregate; per-edge rate is already 0.143 ms)
is_unsafeextraction in the Rust parser (stage 8 S2 runs ininfo-skip mode pending this)LSP-based deep method resolution on inferred types
