CodeAtlas MCP Server
The CodeAtlas MCP Server exposes codebase analysis data to AI assistants, enabling them to query project structure, dependencies, and AI-generated insights.
List Projects (
list_projects): Discover all CodeAtlas-analyzed projects under your home directory, returning their names, paths, and last analysis timestamps.Get Project Structure (
get_project_structure): Retrieve all modules, classes, functions, and variables in a project, with optional filtering by entity type and result limits.Get Dependencies (
get_dependencies): Explore import, call, and containment relationships between entities, with filtering by source, target, and relationship type.Get Insights (
get_insights): Access AI-generated code quality insights including refactoring suggestions, security issues, and maintainability analysis.Search Entities (
search_entities): Fuzzy search for functions, classes, modules, or variables by name across a project, with optional type filtering.Get File Entities (
get_file_entities): Retrieve all classes, functions, and variables defined within a specific file using partial path matching.
Compatible with major AI tools including Gemini, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code Copilot. Supports both npx execution and global installation.
Click on "Install 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., "@CodeAtlas MCP Servershow the module structure and dependencies for the current project"
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.
πΊοΈ CodeAtlas MCP Server
Give your AI assistant deep understanding of any codebase
A standalone MCP server that exposes code analysis data to Gemini, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code Copilot β with persistent AI memory between conversations.
β¨ 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 conversationsBefore CodeAtlas: AI greps blindly, forgets your project every conversation. After CodeAtlas: AI instantly knows your architecture, dependencies, and remembers context.
π Setup (1 minute)
1. Analyze your project
Install the CodeAtlas extension, then:
Ctrl+Shift+P β CodeAtlas: Analyze Project2. Add MCP config to your AI

π οΈ 10 MCP Tools
Code Analysis (6 tools)
Tool | Description | Example Use |
| List all analyzed projects | "What projects do I have?" |
| Get modules, classes, functions | "Show me all classes" |
| Import/call/containment relationships | "What does UserService depend on?" |
| Code quality & security analysis | "Any security issues?" |
| Fuzzy search entities by name | "Find the login function" |
| All entities in a specific file | "What's in auth.ts?" |
Architecture Visualization (2 tools)
Tool | Description | Example Use |
| Mermaid architecture diagram (module imports) | "Show me the system architecture" |
| Mermaid execution flow diagram (call chains) | "How does the payment feature work?" |
AI Memory (2 tools)
Tool | Description | Example Use |
| Save context to | "Remember what we changed" |
| Trace feature through codebase | "What files are involved in auth?" |
π§ 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/
βββ system-map.md β Architecture diagram
βββ modules.json β All entities
βββ conventions.md β Code patterns
βββ business-rules.json β Domain logic
βββ feature-flows.json β Feature traces
βββ change-log.json β Change history
β
Conversation 2 β AI reads memory β full context restored instantly β¨Auto-Generated IDE Rules
When you run Analyze Project, CodeAtlas auto-creates rule files for your AI IDE:
Generated File | For |
| All AI assistants |
| Cursor |
| Claude Code |
| Windsurf |
These tell your AI to:
Read
.agents/memory/at the start of every conversationUse MCP tools before making changes
Call
sync_system_memoryafter completing changes
π Supported Languages
Language | Features |
TypeScript / JavaScript | Full AST: imports, classes, functions, variables, calls, implements |
Python | Classes, functions, variables, imports, calls |
PHP | Classes, interfaces, traits, enums, functions, properties |
Blade Templates |
|
π¦ Alternative: Global Install
npm install -g @giauphan/codeatlas-mcpThen use "command": "codeatlas-mcp" in your MCP config (no args needed).
π§ Environment Variables
