ai-mind-map
Allows Codeium/Windsurf AI agents to interact with codebase knowledge graph, change tracking, and persistent memory.
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., "@ai-mind-mapshow me the dependency graph for user module"
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.

π§ͺ TestSprite Hackathon β Season 3
This project is a submission for the TestSprite Season 3 Hackathon. The TestSprite verification loop ran against the live website across 2 rounds, finding and fixing 4 real product bugs.
Test | Priority | Status |
Live brain graph renders real codebase data | P0 | β passed |
Homepage hero + comparison cards | P0 | β οΈ inconclusive (agent: PASS, D3 render overhead) |
Tools explorer search filtering | P1 | β passed |
Token savings calculator sliders | P1 | β passed |
Install wizard agent switching | P1 | β passed |
Full site navigation | P2 | β passed |
Bugs found by TestSprite:
π Brain graph search input had no ARIA β invisible to accessibility tree
π Install page: 3 identical
Copybuttons with no unique identifiersπ D3 drag handler fired on every mousedown β hover selected nodes incorrectly
π Homepage hero + CTA both had identical
Copybuttons β agent blocked

CI/CD: TestSprite runs automatically on every push via GitHub Actions.
β‘ Install in One Command
npx ai-mind-map installAuto-detects Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity, Zed, Continue.dev β configures all of them instantly. No config files. No manual setup. Just run and restart your agent.
β The Problem
Every time an AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Antigravity) processes a request, it re-reads your entire codebase from scratch. This wastes massive amounts of tokens:
Without AI Mind Map:
β Agent reads auth.ts β 5,000 tokens
β Agent reads auth.ts AGAIN β 5,000 tokens (same file!)
β Agent reads auth.ts AGAIN β 5,000 tokens (still the same file!)
Total: 15,000 tokens for 3 questions about ONE file
With AI Mind Map:
β
mindmap_get_signature("authenticate") β 50 tokens
β
mindmap_get_signature("validateToken") β 40 tokens
β
mindmap_trace_dependencies("authenticate") β 100 tokens
Total: 190 tokens β that's a 99% reductionIndustry research shows ~42% of all tokens consumed by AI coding agents are avoidable waste β repeated file reads, re-discovering architecture, re-debating settled decisions.
β¨ What AI Mind Map Does
AI Mind Map is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that gives your AI agent:
Feature | What It Does | Token Savings |
πΊοΈ Knowledge Graph | Parses your entire codebase into a queryable graph of functions, classes, and relationships | 99% |
π Change Tracker | Knows exactly what changed since the AI's last session | 80% |
π§ Persistent Memory | Remembers architecture decisions, conventions, and context across sessions | 90% |
ποΈ Smart Compression | Compresses build logs, test output, stack traces intelligently | 50-98% |
π Progressive Loading | Loads only what's needed β signatures first, full code only when asked | 90% |
β‘ Real-time Sync | File watcher keeps the graph updated as you code | Always fresh |
Inspired By The Best
This project combines proven techniques from:
Source | Technique | Their Result |
Knowledge Graph + SQLite | 99% reduction (120x fewer tokens) | |
PageRank-based Repo Map | 90%+ reduction | |
Persistent Memory with Decay | 3-4x cost reduction | |
Context Sandboxing + BM25 | 98% context reduction | |
Progressive Disclosure | 90%+ savings |
π Quick Start
Method 1: Global Install (Recommended β Most Reliable)
npm install -g ai-mind-map
# Auto-detect and configure all your AI agents
ai-mind-map install
# Check everything is working
ai-mind-map doctorMethod 2: npx (Quick β No Install)
# Run directly without installing anything
npx ai-mind-map install
# β οΈ If you get "bindings.js" errors, use Method 1 instead (npx cache can corrupt native modules)Method 3: Clone (For Development)
git clone https://github.com/shdra06/ai-mind-map.git
cd ai-mind-map
npm install --legacy-peer-deps
npm run build
node dist/cli.js installWhat install Does
β Scans your system for AI coding agents (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, Antigravity, Zed, Continue.dev)
β Writes MCP config to each agent's config file
β Deploys rules files so agents know about our 41 tools
β Runs diagnostics to verify everything works
Verify It Works

β TypeScript Build dist/index.js exists
β Agents 3 detected, 3 configuredπ Connect To Your AI Agent
Automatic (Recommended)
npm install -g ai-mind-map
ai-mind-map installThis auto-detects all 7 agents and writes the config for you. Done.
What Gets Written
After running install, each agent's config file contains:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "ai-mind-map",
"args": []
}
}
}π‘ Note: If you installed globally, the command is
ai-mind-map. If using npx, it writes"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]. Both work, but global is more reliable for native dependencies.
Manual Setup (If You Prefer)
If you want to configure manually, add this to your agent's config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]
}
}
}{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]
}
}
}{
"mcp.servers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]
}
}
}{
"mcpServers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]
}
}
}{
"mcp.servers": {
"ai-mind-map": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "ai-mind-map"]
}
}
}Command: npx
Args: -y ai-mind-map
Transport: stdioπ‘ After configuring, restart your AI agent so it picks up the new MCP server.
π§ 50+ MCP Tools

ββββββββββββββββββββββHow the Memory System Works
AI Mind Map uses a three-tier memory architecture (inspired by cognitive science):
Layer | What | Token Cost | Lifespan |
Working Memory | Current task context | Full price | This conversation |
Episodic Memory | Session summaries, recent decisions | On-demand retrieval | Days to weeks |
Semantic Memory | Codebase graph, architecture, conventions | Queried, never dumped | Permanent (with decay) |
Memories have importance scores that:
π Increase when accessed (+0.1 per access, capped at 1.0)
π Decay over time (configurable, default 5% per day)
ποΈ Get pruned when importance drops below threshold
This means frequently-useful memories stick around, while stale ones naturally fade.
π Expected Token Savings
Scenario | Without Mind Map | With Mind Map | Savings |
Find a function signature | ~5,000 tokens | ~50 tokens | 99% |
Understand project structure | ~50,000 tokens | ~500 tokens | 99% |
Resume after session break | ~20,000 tokens | ~2,000 tokens | 90% |
Trace dependency chain | ~30,000 tokens | ~200 tokens | 99% |
Check what changed | ~10,000 tokens | ~500 tokens | 95% |
Compress build log | ~8,000 tokens | ~400 tokens | 95% |
