agentcortex 0.0.5

Semantic infrastructure for AI coding agents

agentcortex

Semantic infrastructure for AI coding agents — symbol index, call graph, framework skills, MCP tools, and a live dashboard for Cursor, Claude Code, and other editors.

Install the package, then use the cortex CLI in any project.

pip install agentcortex

Requires Python 3.11+.

---

Quick start

In your project (not inside the agentcortex install directory):

cd /path/to/your-app
cortex init                  # name, port, skills, repo path
cortex add cursor            # or: cortex add claude

When your editor connects Cortex MCP, it runs cortex serve, which starts MCP tools and the dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:7070 (port configurable in .cortex/cortex.toml).

Optional background indexer (watches files on save):

cortex start
