Quick Start

Install the core toolkit

pip install codegraphcontext

If 'cgc' command isn't found, run our one-line fix:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeGraphContext/CodeGraphContext/main/scripts/post_install_fix.sh | bash

Getting Started

📋 Understanding CodeGraphContext Modes

CodeGraphContext operates in two modes, and you can use either or both:

🛠️ Mode 1: CLI Toolkit (Standalone)

Use CodeGraphContext as a powerful command-line toolkit for code analysis:

• Index and analyze codebases directly from your terminal
• Query code relationships, find dead code, analyze complexity
• Visualize code graphs and dependencies
• Perfect for developers who want direct control via CLI commands

🤖 Mode 2: MCP Server (AI-Powered)

Use CodeGraphContext as an MCP server for AI assistants:

• Connect to AI IDEs (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Claude, Kiro, etc.)
• Let AI agents query your codebase using natural language
• Automatic code understanding and relationship analysis
• Perfect for AI-assisted development workflows

You can use both modes! Install once, then use CLI commands directly OR connect to your AI assistant.

Installation (Both Modes)

1. Install: pip install codegraphcontext

   ⚙️ Troubleshooting: In case, command cgc not found

   If you encounter "cgc: command not found" after installation, run the PATH fix script:

   Linux/Mac:

   # Download the fix script
   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeGraphContext/CodeGraphContext/main/scripts/post_install_fix.sh
   
   # Make it executable
   chmod +x post_install_fix.sh
   
   # Run the script
   ./post_install_fix.sh
   
   # Restart your terminal or reload shell config
   source ~/.bashrc  # or ~/.zshrc for zsh users
   

   Windows (PowerShell):

   # Download the fix script
   curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodeGraphContext/CodeGraphContext/main/scripts/post_install_fix.sh
   
   # Run with bash (requires Git Bash or WSL)
   bash post_install_fix.sh
   
   # Restart PowerShell or reload profile
   . $PROFILE
   

2. Database Setup (Automatic)

   • KùzuDB (default on Windows): Runs natively on Windows, macOS, and Linux. On Windows it is the usual embedded choice; pip install kuzu if needed.
   • FalkorDB Lite (typical default on Unix): When Python 3.12+ and falkordblite are available on Unix/macOS/WSL, the embedded backend prefers FalkorDB Lite; otherwise KùzuDB is used.
   • Neo4j (Alternative): To use Neo4j instead, or if you prefer a server-based approach, run: cgc neo4j setup

---

For CLI Toolkit Mode

Start using immediately with CLI commands:

# Index your current directory
cgc index .

# List all indexed repositories
cgc list

# Analyze who calls a function
cgc analyze callers my_function

# Find complex code
cgc analyze complexity --threshold 10

# Find dead code
cgc analyze dead-code

# Watch for live changes (optional)
cgc watch .

# See all commands
cgc help

See the full CLI Commands Guide for all available commands and usage scenarios.

🎨 Premium Interactive Visualization

CodeGraphContext can generate stunning, interactive knowledge graphs of your code. Unlike static diagrams, these are premium web-based explorers:

• Premium Aesthetics: Dark mode, glassmorphism, and modern typography (Outfit/JetBrains Mono).
• Interactive Inspection: Click any node to open a detailed side panel with symbol information, file paths, and context.
• Quick Search: Live-search through the graph to find specific symbols instantly.
• Intelligent Layouts: Force-directed and hierarchical layouts that make complex relationships readable.
• Zero-Dependency Viewing: Standalone HTML files that work in any modern browser.

# Visualize function calls
cgc analyze calls my_function --viz

# Explore class hierarchies
cgc analyze tree MyClass --viz

# Visualize search results
cgc find pattern "Auth" --viz

---

🤖 For MCP Server Mode

Configure your AI assistant to use CodeGraphContext:

1. Setup: Run the MCP setup wizard to configure your IDE/AI assistant:

   cgc mcp setup
   

   The wizard can automatically detect and configure:

   • VS Code
   • Cursor
   • Windsurf
   • Claude
   • Gemini CLI
   • ChatGPT Codex
   • Cline
   • RooCode
   • Amazon Q Developer
   • Kiro

   Upon successful configuration, cgc mcp setup will generate and place the necessary configuration files:

   • It creates an mcp.json file in your current directory for reference.
   • It stores your database credentials securely in ~/.codegraphcontext/.env.
   • It updates the settings file of your chosen IDE/CLI (e.g., .claude.json or VS Code's settings.json).

2. Start: Launch the MCP server:

   cgc mcp start
   

3. Use: Now interact with your codebase through your AI assistant using natural language! See examples below.

---

Ignoring Files (.cgcignore)

You can tell CodeGraphContext to ignore specific files and directories by creating a .cgcignore file in the root of your project. This file uses the same syntax as .gitignore.

Example .cgcignore file:

# Ignore build artifacts
/build/
/dist/

# Ignore dependencies
/node_modules/
/vendor/

# Ignore logs
*.log

---

MCP Client Configuration

The cgc mcp setup command attempts to automatically configure your IDE/CLI. If you choose not to use the automatic setup, or if your tool is not supported, you can configure it manually.

Add the following server configuration to your client's settings file (e.g., VS Code's settings.json or .claude.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "CodeGraphContext": {
      "command": "cgc",
      "args": [
        "mcp",
        "start"
      ],
      "env": {
        "NEO4J_URI": "YOUR_NEO4J_URI",
        "NEO4J_USERNAME": "YOUR_NEO4J_USERNAME",
        "NEO4J_PASSWORD": "YOUR_NEO4J_PASSWORD"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "alwaysAllow": []
    }
  }
}

Natural Language Interaction Examples

Once the server is running, you can interact with it through your AI assistant using plain English. Here are some examples of what you can say:

Indexing and Watching Files

• To index a new project:

  • "Please index the code in the /path/to/my-project directory." OR
  • "Add the project at ~/dev/my-other-project to the code graph."

• To start watching a directory for live changes:

  • "Watch the /path/to/my-active-project directory for changes." OR
  • "Keep the code graph updated for the project I'm working on at ~/dev/main-app."

  When you ask to watch a directory, the system performs two actions at once:

  1. It kicks off a full scan to index all the code in that directory. This process runs in the background, and you'll receive a job_id to track its progress.
  2. It begins watching the directory for any file changes to keep the graph updated in real-time.

  This means you can start by simply telling the system to watch a directory, and it will handle both the initial indexing and the continuous updates automatically.

Querying and Understanding Code

• Finding where code is defined:

  • "Where is the process_payment function?"
  • "Find the User class for me."
  • "Show me any code related to 'database connection'."

• Analyzing relationships and impact:

  • "What other functions call the get_user_by_id function?"
  • "If I change the calculate_tax function, what other parts of the code will be affected?"
  • "Show me the inheritance hierarchy for the BaseController class."
  • "What methods does the Order class have?"

• Exploring dependencies:

  • "Which files import the requests library?"
  • "Find all implementations of the render method."

• Advanced Call Chain and Dependency Tracking (Spanning Hundreds of Files): The CodeGraphContext excels at tracing complex execution flows and dependencies across vast codebases. Leveraging the power of graph databases, it can identify direct and indirect callers and callees, even when a function is called through multiple layers of abstraction or across numerous files. This is invaluable for:

  • Impact Analysis: Understand the full ripple effect of a change to a core function.

  • Debugging: Trace the path of execution from an entry point to a specific bug.

  • Code Comprehension: Grasp how different parts of a large system interact.

  • "Show me the full call chain from the main function to process_data."

  • "Find all functions that directly or indirectly call validate_input."

  • "What are all the functions that initialize_system eventually calls?"

  • "Trace the dependencies of the DatabaseManager module."

• Code Quality and Maintenance:

  • "Is there any dead or unused code in this project?"
  • "Calculate the cyclomatic complexity of the process_data function in src/utils.py."
  • "Find the 5 most complex functions in the codebase."

• Repository Management:

  • "List all currently indexed repositories."
  • "Delete the indexed repository at /path/to/old-project."
