This is insane This open-source tool gives AI instant knowledge of your entire codebase.
It’s called SocratiCode.
Instead of making AI randomly read files or run endless searches, it builds an index of the entire repository.
So the AI already knows:
• where features are implemented • how modules connect • which files depend on each other • where specific logic exists
Even in million-line codebases.
Setup is surprisingly simple.
All you need is Docker running.
Then install the MCP server in your editor.
Works with:
• VS Code • Cursor • Claude Desktop • Windsurf • Cline • Codex CLI
And the install command is literally just:
npx -y socraticode
After that you can ask your AI things like:
• “How authentication works in this project?” • “Where is rate limiting implemented?” • “What depends on this module?”
And it finds the answer across the entire repo.
Pretty wild what AI dev tools are becoming.
