πŸ—ΊοΈ CodeAtlas MCP Server

Give your AI assistant deep understanding of any codebase

npm CI License Node

A standalone MCP server that exposes code analysis data to Gemini, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot β€” with persistent AI memory between conversations.


✨ What Does It Do?

Your Code β†’ CodeAtlas Analyze β†’ MCP Server β†’ AI Understands Everything
                                     β”‚
                              10 powerful tools:
                              β€’ Search functions & classes
                              β€’ Trace feature flows
                              β€’ Generate architecture diagrams
                              β€’ Persistent memory across conversations

Before CodeAtlas: AI greps blindly, forgets your project every conversation. After CodeAtlas: AI instantly knows your architecture, dependencies, and remembers context.


πŸš€ Setup (1 minute)

1. Analyze your project

Install the CodeAtlas extension, then:

Ctrl+Shift+P β†’ CodeAtlas: Analyze Project

2. Add MCP config to your AI

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeatlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@giauphan/codeatlas-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeatlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@giauphan/codeatlas-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
{
  "mcp": {
    "servers": {
      "codeatlas": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "@giauphan/codeatlas-mcp"]
      }
    }
  }
}
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeatlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@giauphan/codeatlas-mcp"]
    }
  }
}
claude mcp add codeatlas -- npx -y @giauphan/codeatlas-mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codeatlas": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@giauphan/codeatlas-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Done! Your AI can now use all 10 CodeAtlas tools.

🧠 AI Memory β€” Persistent Context

AI assistants forget everything between conversations. CodeAtlas fixes this:

Conversation 1 β†’ AI analyzes code β†’ sync_system_memory
                                          β”‚
                                   .agents/memory/
                                   β”œβ”€β”€ system-map.md       ← Architecture diagram
                                   β”œβ”€β”€ modules.json        ← All entities
                                   β”œβ”€β”€ conventions.md      ← Code patterns
                                   β”œβ”€β”€ business-rules.json ← Domain logic
                                   β”œβ”€β”€ feature-flows.json  ← Feature traces
                                   └── change-log.json     ← Change history
                                          β”‚
Conversation 2 β†’ AI reads memory β†’ full context restored instantly ✨

Auto-Generated IDE Rules

When you run Analyze Project, CodeAtlas auto-creates rule files for your AI IDE:

Generated File

For

.agents/rules/codeatlas-mcp.md

All AI assistants

.cursor/rules/codeatlas.mdc

Cursor

CLAUDE.md

Claude Code

.windsurfrules

Windsurf

These tell your AI to:

  1. Read .agents/memory/ at the start of every conversation

  2. Use MCP tools before making changes

  3. Call sync_system_memory after completing changes
