The AI reasons.
CodeGraph MCP interrogates the repository.
The evidence stays traceable.

CodeGraph MCP gives AI coding agents an evidence-backed understanding of code, dependencies, databases, and optional runtime observations.

Supported Languages & Frameworks: First-class Python (FastAPI, Flask, Django, SQLAlchemy, Celery, pytest) + TypeScript / JavaScript (.ts, .tsx, .js, .jsx) & Express.js support.

When an AI coding agent works inside a complex Python or full-stack codebase, raw text search forces it to open dozens of files and mentally reconstruct call chains, router prefixes, dependency injection providers, and ORM table mappings inside its context window. CodeGraph MCP eliminates blind exploration by interrogating the codebase for deterministic, AST-verified facts.

CodeGraph MCP v2.2.1 Architecture & Concurrency Pipeline


1. What's New in v2.2.1

Version 2.2.1 solves the core operational, concurrency, context saturation, and developer friction bottlenecks in the Agent-MCP ecosystem:

Bottleneck Solved How It Worked Before CodeGraph MCP v2.2.1 Solution Impact
Runtime Telemetry Cold Start User had to manually configure OpenTelemetry exporters or Pino JSON log streaming pipelines. codegraph run <command>: Transparent 1-line wrapper (codegraph run npm run dev, codegraph run uvicorn main:app) injecting non-invasive hooks (NODE_OPTIONS / PYTHONSTARTUP). Zero code changes; streams HTTP route hits, latencies, and exception traces directly into .codegraph/runtime.sqlite3.
Database Concurrency (database is locked) Concurrent agent queries and background indexers could lock the SQLite database and raise crashes. Enforced permanent WAL mode, synchronous = NORMAL, busy_timeout = 15000 (15s), cache_size = -64000 (64MB), and in-memory temporary storage. Completely eliminates database is locked errors during parallel AI interrogation.
Index Freshness Verification Latency Full-repository file hash comparisons took seconds before queries on large codebases. Instant Git Commit Fast Path: Validates git rev-parse HEAD match + clean git status --porcelain. Falls back to st_mtime < idx_at stat checks. Reduces freshness verification from seconds to < 5ms on clean repositories.
Enterprise Monorepo Context Saturation Queries on 40,000-file monorepos could emit 50,000+ tokens for all routes or tables, blowing LLM context windows. Bounded Pagination: Added limit, offset, total_count, and has_more to list_routes and get_db_schema. Added --limit / --offset to CLI routes. Bounded context token consumption with strict pagination safeguards.
Client Disconnection (exit status 0xffffffff) Stdio MCP pipe termination caused permanent crash loops in agent IDEs on server updates or restarts. Multi-Transport Resiliency: Added --transport sse (--port, --host) to codegraph serve and codegraph mcp serve. Enables hot-reconnecting SSE HTTP transport alongside stdio for robust IDE bridges.

2. Quickstart (30-Second Setup)

Step 1: Install the Package

pip install "codegraph-engine[mcp]"

Step 2: Configure Your AI Coding Agents (codegraph install)

CodeGraph MCP includes an interactive, idempotent onboarding installer (src/codegraph/installer.py) that detects installed AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and Cline), configures mcpServers.codegraph, installs marker-bounded routing instructions (<!-- CODEGRAPH:START --> … <!-- CODEGRAPH:END -->), and verifies server health:

# Interactive setup (detects installed agents, previews planned changes, asks confirmation)
codegraph install

# Non-interactive setup for all detected agents in the current project
codegraph install --yes --target auto --location local

# Preview exact file modifications without writing anything
codegraph install --dry-run

Step 3: Initialize & Verify Your Project Index

cd your-project
codegraph init
codegraph status
codegraph doctor

Dynamic Index Hot-Reloading: If your AI coding agent launches codegraph mcp serve before you run codegraph init, you do not need to restart your IDE or MCP session. As soon as codegraph init or codegraph index creates or updates .codegraph.sqlite3, the running MCP server automatically detects the database on the next tool call and refreshes its in-memory graph cache (get_repository_status(reload=True, reindex=True) can also be invoked directly by the agent).

Step 4: Run With Zero-Friction Telemetry (codegraph run)

Wrap your development server transparently to stream real HTTP routes, durations, and uncaught exceptions directly into CodeGraph MCP:

# Node / Express / Next.js
codegraph run npm run dev

# Python / FastAPI / Uvicorn
codegraph run uvicorn main:app --reload

# Django
codegraph run python manage.py runserver

Routing Each Question to the Right Primitive

STRUCTURAL     →  Graph tools (find_symbol, find_callers, find_callees, find_references, find_routes)
TEXTUAL        →  search_code (literal/regex search across Python, HTML/Jinja, JS/TS, CSS, YAML/JSON, SQL)
SOURCE         →  get_file (bounded start_line..end_line source inspection with truncation metadata)

DATABASE       →  Database tools (get_db_schema, find_db_tables, find_db_readers, find_db_writers, get_db_impact)
RUNTIME        →  Runtime tools (codegraph run, ingest_runtime_traces, get_runtime_trace, reconcile_static_runtime)
EDITING        →  Native agent / IDE editing tools

4. Real-World CLI Outputs

Below are exact, verifiable outputs produced by CodeGraph MCP v2.2.1:

1. Zero-Friction Runtime Interceptor (codegraph run)

$ codegraph run python3 -c "print('>> Dev server active on port 8000')"

5. AI/ML & Backend Architecture Examples

Example 1: Model Inference Service Flow

POST /v1/predict (FastAPI Route)
      ↓  HANDLED_BY (FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED)
predict_endpoint (Handler)
      ↓  INJECTS (DATAFLOW_VERIFIED)
get_inference_service (DI Provider)
      ↓  CALLS (AST_VERIFIED)
InferenceService.run_inference
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► FeaturePreprocessor.transform
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► FraudClassifier.forward
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► ScorePostprocessor.calibrate
      └──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► PredictionRepository.log_prediction
                                        ↓  WRITES_TABLE (AST_VERIFIED)
                                   db:table:postgresql.public.prediction_logs

What CodeGraph MCP structurally proves:

  • find_routes(path="/v1/predict") resolves composed router prefixes (MOUNTS) to predict_endpoint.
  • trace_path(from_symbol="predict_endpoint", to_symbol="log_prediction") proves the multi-hop execution chain across DI injection, preprocessing, model execution, and persistence.
  • get_db_impact(symbol="InferenceService.run_inference") identifies downstream writes to prediction_logs.

Example 2: Training & Evaluation Pipeline

train_cli (CLI Command Handler)
      ↓  COMMAND_HANDLER (FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED)
TrainingPipeline.run
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► DatasetBuilder.load_splits
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► TokenizerTransform.encode_batch
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► Trainer.fit_epoch
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► CheckpointManager.save_weights
      └──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED) ──► Evaluator.compute_metrics

What CodeGraph MCP structurally proves:

  • find_callees(symbol="TrainingPipeline.run") enumerates every stage of the pipeline with exact file and line ranges.
  • find_tests(symbol="Evaluator.compute_metrics") locates the unit and regression tests covering metric calculation.
  • When a transform or model class is dynamically instantiated from a YAML string (getattr(models, cfg.arch)), CodeGraph MCP explicitly records POSSIBLE_CALLS (POSSIBLE) or UNRESOLVED_REFERENCE (UNKNOWN) rather than fabricating a false static call edge.

Example 3: LLM Agent & Tool Registry

POST /api/chat (LLM Endpoint)
      ↓  HANDLED_BY (FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED)
chat_handler
      ↓  CALLS (AST_VERIFIED)
AgentRunner.execute_step
      ├──►REGISTERS / REGISTERED_HANDLER ──► ToolRegistry ("search_orders", "refund_order")
      ├──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED)           ──► ContextBuilder.compile
      ├──►READS_TABLE (AST_VERIFIED)     ──► db:table:postgresql.public.conversations
      └──►CALLS (AST_VERIFIED)           ──► ModelProviderClient.generate

What CodeGraph MCP structurally proves:

  • Tracks decorator and call-based registrations (@tool_registry.register("search_orders")) via REGISTERS and REGISTERED_HANDLER edges.
  • Tracks environment variable dependencies (os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")) as READS_ENV edges with the variable name only—never indexing or exposing secret values.

6. Database Intelligence

src/codegraph/database/ provides static schema, ORM model, migration, and query extraction across SQLAlchemy, Django ORM, SQLModel, Prisma (.prisma), Alembic, Django Migrations, and Raw SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite).

POST /orders
      ↓  HANDLED_BY (FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED)
OrderService.create_order
      ↓  CALLS (AST_VERIFIED)
OrderRepository.insert_order
      ↓  WRITES_TABLE (AST_VERIFIED)
db:table:postgresql.public.orders
      ↓  FOREIGN_KEY_TO (AST_VERIFIED)
orders.user_id ──► users.id

Capabilities Exposed by the 11 Database MCP Tools

  • Table & Column Discovery (get_db_schema, get_db_table, find_db_tables, find_db_columns): Extract tables, column types, nullability, defaults, primary keys (HAS_PRIMARY_KEY), indexes (HAS_INDEX), unique/check constraints, and foreign keys (FOREIGN_KEY_TO).
  • ORM Mapping (find_db_models): Map SQLAlchemy __tablename__, Django models.Model (Meta.db_table), SQLModel table=True, and Prisma model blocks via MAPS_TO_TABLE and MAPS_TO_COLUMN.
  • Readers, Writers & Callers (find_db_readers, find_db_writers, find_db_callers, find_db_queries): Identify every function or method that executes SELECT (READS_TABLE) or INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE / .add() / .save() (WRITES_TABLE) against a table.
  • Migration Lineage & Schema Blast Radius (find_db_relationships, get_db_impact): Track Alembic (op.create_table, op.add_column) and Django (migrations.CreateModel, migrations.AddField) operations (MIGRATES_TABLE) and compute bidirectional code $\leftrightarrow$ database impact.

7. Zero-Friction Runtime Intelligence & Static Reconciliation

Static analysis proves what can happen structurally; runtime telemetry records what was observed during execution. CodeGraph MCP v2.2.1 brings them together transparently:

STATIC GRAPH (AST + Framework + Dataflow + DB)
                   +
RUNTIME OBSERVATION (codegraph run / OTel JSON / JSONL / SQL Logs)
                   ↓
       reconcile_static_runtime()

Reconciliation Outcomes (ReconciliationStatus)

Reconciliation Status Static Graph Runtime Trace Meaning
CONFIRMED_RUNTIME_PATH Present Observed Static relationship is structurally proven and observed executing in ingested traces.
NOT_OBSERVED_AT_RUNTIME Present Not observed Statically valid edge was not exercised in the recorded trace sample.
RUNTIME_ONLY_OBSERVED Dynamic / UNKNOWN Observed Executed at runtime (e.g., plugin hook, getattr, dynamic SQL) where static analysis was UNKNOWN.
STATIC_RUNTIME_CONFLICT Target A Target B Runtime execution dispatched to a different target than static resolution (e.g., dependency override).

Epistemic Rules for Runtime Evidence

  1. Runtime Telemetry Is Non-Invasive: codegraph run uses standard environment variable hooks (NODE_OPTIONS, PYTHONSTARTUP). You never modify application source code.
  2. NOT_OBSERVED_AT_RUNTIME Does Not Mean Dead Code: It only indicates that the code path was not triggered during the recorded trace window (such as an error branch or periodic batch job).
  3. Runtime Observations Never Overwrite Static Proof: Runtime spans are recorded with evidence_class="RUNTIME_OBSERVED" and strictly distinguished from AST_VERIFIED and FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED static edges.

8. Epistemic Trust & Evidence Contract

CodeGraph MCP enforces a fail-closed evidence contract (src/codegraph/evidence_contract.py) across all 51 canonical relationship types and 9 evidence classes. CodeGraph MCP prefers explicit uncertainty over fabricated certainty:

Dynamically resolved target (getattr(handler, action_name)())
      ↓
UNRESOLVED_REFERENCE / POSSIBLE_CALLS (status = "UNKNOWN" | "POSSIBLE")
(Never fabricated into a verified CALLS edge)
Epistemic Status Allowed Evidence Classes What It Means
FACT AST_VERIFIED, STATIC_VERIFIED, FRAMEWORK_VERIFIED, DATAFLOW_VERIFIED Proven directly from syntax tree, framework decorator/router semantics, or conservative local dataflow.
RUNTIME_OBSERVED RUNTIME_OBSERVED Observed in traces captured by codegraph run or ingested OTel/JSONL/SQL logs (hit_count, duration_ms).
POSSIBLE POSSIBLE Plausible candidate relationship (POSSIBLE_CALLS, POSSIBLE_TABLE) requiring source inspection before mutation.
AMBIGUOUS AMBIGUOUS Multiple symbols or database tables match the bare identifier across modules or dialects; returns sorted candidates.
UNKNOWN UNKNOWN, RUNTIME_UNOBSERVED Target cannot be statically proven (dynamic reflection, external dependency, or reason="resolution_budget_exceeded").
CONFLICT Static vs. Runtime / Multi-Source Static analysis and runtime observation (or competing definitions) disagree.

11. Security, Privacy & Redaction Boundaries

CodeGraph MCP runs 100% locally (stdio / sse MCP + local .codegraph.sqlite3), never executes repository code during indexing, and enforces strict file-access and redaction boundaries (src/codegraph/security/paths.py, src/codegraph/security/redaction.py):

Security Boundary Enforcement Mode Exact Behavior
Sensitive Files (.env, *.pem, *.key, *.crt, id_rsa*, kubeconfig*, .npmrc, .pypirc, *secret*.json) BLOCKED Excluded from indexing and FTS; direct inspection via get_file or read_file is rejected with SENSITIVE_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED.
Path Traversal & Symlinks (../, %2e%2e, null bytes, external symlinks) BLOCKED Canonical path check in resolve_within_repo() raises SecurityError(ErrorCode.PATH_OUTSIDE_REPOSITORY).
Binary Files (.pyc, .so, .dylib, .dll, .exe, images, archives, PDFs) BLOCKED Classified as BINARY and skipped during indexing and text search.
Environment Variable Reads in Code (os.getenv("DATABASE_URL")) Metadata Only Records READS_ENV with the variable name only; never reads .env or runtime environment values.
Database Connection Strings (postgresql://user:pass@host:5432/prod) REDACTED Preserves dialect and database name while sanitizing credentials to postgresql://[REDACTED]@[REDACTED]/prod.
API Keys, Bearer Tokens, JWTs & Private Keys (sk-..., ghp_..., AKIA...) REDACTED Replaced with [REDACTED_SECRET] or [REDACTED_PRIVATE_KEY] before indexing, search, or MCP output.
Runtime HTTP Headers & SQL Literals (authorization, cookie, WHERE password = '...') REDACTED Sensitive runtime keys and SQL literals are scrubbed ([REDACTED] / ?) during ingest_runtime_traces.

Run codegraph privacy . at any time to audit the local database and verify that no sensitive files or unredacted secrets are stored.
