ArchNav MCP Server
Provides architecture-aware code navigation and analysis tools for AI agents, including line-level symbol location, layered architecture detection, call graph tracing, and impact analysis.
ArchNav MCP Server
Architecture-Aware Code Navigation — Line-level precision · Architecture-layer awareness · Confidence-based staleness · Dual-engine MCP (22 tools)
🇬🇧 English
ArchNav is an architecture-aware code navigation system designed for AI agents (Claude Code, Hermes, Cursor, Codex). It combines:
ArchNav native engine — 12 language AST parser (zero native compilation), line-level symbol location, layered architecture detection, gradient confidence scoring
GitNexus dual-engine — Proxies 13 GitNexus MCP tools for deep scope resolution, PDG data flow, and cross-repo analysis
Hybrid merge mode — Key tools (
impact,calls,trace) automatically merge results from both engines

🚀 Quick Start
# 1. Clone & install
git clone https://github.com/1020911401/ArchNavMCPServer.git
cd ArchNavMCPServer
npm install
# 2. Analyze your project
node src/index.js analyze /path/to/your-project
# 3. Navigate
node src/index.js locate "getOrderById" # Find symbol → file:line
node src/index.js arch # Show architecture layers
node src/index.js calls "createOrder" # Show call graph

# 4. Start MCP Server (for Claude Code / Hermes)
node src/mcp-server.js🏗️ Architecture Detection
ArchNav automatically detects 8 architecture layers from your codebase's directory structure:
src/controllers/ → API (Controller) — Express routes, REST handlers
src/services/ → Business (Service) — Business logic, orchestrators
src/repositories/ → Data (Repository) — Database access
src/models/ → Model/Validation — Schemas, validators
src/middleware/ → Middleware — Auth, logging, error handling
src/config/ → Configuration — App settings
src/utils/ → Utilities — Shared helpers🔌 MCP Tools (22 total)
ArchNav native (9):
Tool | Description |
| Locate a symbol → exact file:line range + confidence |
| Read actual source code from disk (verification pattern) |
| Show layered architecture map |
| Trace shortest call path (ArchNav + GitNexus merged) |
| Blast radius analysis (ArchNav layer + GitNexus risk) |
| Outgoing call graph (ArchNav edges + GitNexus UIDs) |
| Incoming callers (ArchNav edges + GitNexus UIDs) |
| Index staleness check |
| Build/update knowledge graph |
GitNexus proxy (13): gn_query, gn_context, gn_cypher, gn_impact, gn_route_map, gn_rename, gn_detect_changes, gn_shape_check, gn_api_impact, gn_tool_map, gn_group_list, gn_group_sync, gn_list_repos

ArchNav 是一个架构感知的代码导航系统,专为 AI 编程助手(Claude Code、Hermes、Cursor、Codex)设计。它融合了两个引擎:
ArchNav 原生引擎 — 12 语言 AST 解析器(零编译)、行级符号定位、分层架构检测、渐变置信度评分
GitNexus 双引擎 — 代理 13 个 GitNexus MCP 工具,用于深度作用域解析、PDG 数据流和跨仓库分析
混合合并模式 — 关键工具(
impact、calls、trace)自动合并两个引擎的结果
