Codebase context
codebase indexing, repo maps and code search for agents
Graphify-Labs/graphify Graphify-Labs/graphify is the de facto leader — it offers a large, deterministic AST-based repo knowledge graph that avoids embeddings and vector stores; teams should pick between deterministic, repo-native graphs (for predictability and auditability) or lighter vector/hybrid search tools (for flexible semantic retrieval).
Which one matches your setup?
Answer any of the questions — the shortlist updates as you go. Recommendations come from the capability passports below, nothing else.

Capability profiles
Six axes, 0–5 each. The shape tells you the strategy: a wide hexagon is a generalist, a spike is a specialist. Showing the 8 most established — the rest are in the full catalog.
Builds a deterministic, AST-based, repo-wide knowledge graph (no embeddings or vector store) with every edge labeled EXTRACTED or INFERRED.
Persists a deterministic, human-readable context graph as markdown files inside the repo (no embeddings or external index), so agents can follow real files and share an up-to-date code understanding via git.
Writes a readable, linked markdown graph of your code (no embeddings or external index), letting agents use a local, regenerable map rather than re-exploring the repo each run.
AST-based semantic search that is extremely lightweight, agent-friendly (skill/MCP plugin), and can run fully locally with offline embeddings.
A zero-dependency, fully local CLI that produces a ranked, token-budgeted call-graph and blast-radius map with disclosed uncertainty and deterministic results, avoiding index servers and heavy token costs.
Stores a persistent, governed, plain-text cognition index inside the repository so AI agents can read whole-system knowledge before acting.
An MCP plugin that gives Claude Code whole-repo semantic code search via hybrid BM25 + dense vector retrieval backed by Milvus, reducing tokens compared with loading large directories into the model.
A curated corpus of 224 battle-tested Kotlin, Compose Multiplatform and JVM failure modes mined from a production app (SimpMusic), not from documentation.

Hosted alternatives
If running your own reviewer is more ops than you want, these managed services cover the same job.
Managed code search and codebase context across your repositories, so agents and developers query a hosted index instead of one you build and keep in sync.
Try Sourcegraph →Serves full-codebase context as an API for AI tools: point at your repos and get cross-file understanding hosted rather than running your own code-graph.
Try Greptile →Managed Milvus from the Zilliz team, the hosted vector store behind many code-context setups, run for you instead of operated alongside your indexer.
