CodeGraphMCPServer
Integrates with GitHub Copilot via MCP to provide structural code understanding, dependency analysis, and GraphRAG-powered code search directly in the IDE.
Supports OpenAI as an LLM provider for GraphRAG capabilities, enabling global and local code search using OpenAI models.
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., "@CodeGraphMCPServerfind all dependencies of the main function"
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.
CodeGraphMCPServer
A lightweight, high-performance source code analysis MCP server with zero configuration
Overview
CodeGraphMCPServer is an MCP server that understands codebase structure and provides GraphRAG (Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation) capabilities. With a self-contained architecture requiring no external database, it enables structural understanding and efficient code completion from MCP-compatible AI tools (GitHub Copilot, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).
🧠 GraphRAG Features
Community Detection: Automatic code module clustering using Louvain algorithm
LLM Integration: Multi-provider design supporting OpenAI/Anthropic/Local LLMs
Global Search: Codebase-wide understanding using community summaries
Local Search: Context retrieval from entity neighborhoods

Installation
Install with pip
pip install codegraph-mcp-serverInstall from source (for development)
git clone https://github.com/nahisaho/CodeGraphMCPServer.git
cd CodeGraphMCPServer
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate # Linux/macOS
pip install -e ".[dev]"Quick Start
1. Index a Repository
# Full index
codegraph-mcp index /path/to/repository --full
# Incremental index (default)
codegraph-mcp index /path/to/repository
# Auto re-index with file watching (v0.7.0 NEW)
codegraph-mcp watch /path/to/repository
codegraph-mcp watch /path/to/repository --debounce 2.0 # 2 second debounce
codegraph-mcp watch /path/to/repository --community # Community detection after re-indexOutput example:
Indexed 16 entities, 37 relations in 0.81s2. Check Statistics

Usage Examples
Conversation with AI Assistant
You: What are the dependencies of the UserService class?
AI: [Using find_dependencies tool]
UserService depends on:
- DatabaseConnection (database.py)
- Logger (utils/logging.py)
- UserRepository (repositories/user.py)You: What would be affected if I modify the authenticate method?
AI: [Using find_callers tool]
Callers of authenticate:
- LoginController.login() (controllers/auth.py:45)
- APIMiddleware.verify_token() (middleware/api.py:23)
- TestUserService.test_auth() (tests/test_user.py:78)You: Explain the main components of this project
AI: [Using global_search tool]
[Using explain_codebase prompt]
This project uses a 3-tier architecture:
1. Controllers layer: HTTP request handling
2. Services layer: Business logic
