@austinit: Hey friends! Highly recommend CodeGraph: a tool that turns your entire codebase into a structured knowledge graph! It uses Tree-sitter to accurately parse AST, supports 20+ languages, and can be directly fed to AI agents like Claude/Cursor. Before modifying code, instantly see the impact scope, with incredibly accurate context. In practice, tokens are saved by 16% and tool calls reduced by 58%, all local and super secure. Start with one command: npx @colbymchenry/codegraph. A must-have for heavy AI coding! https://colbymchenry.github.io/codegraph/ Worth a try!
Summary
CodeGraph is a local-first tool that converts codebases into structured knowledge graphs. It uses Tree-sitter to precisely parse ASTs and supports over 20 languages. Through the MCP protocol, it directly feeds AI coding agents like Claude and Cursor, helping quickly analyze code impact scope while reducing token consumption and tool call frequency.

Tree-sitter parsing
Fast, incremental parsing across 20+ languages — accurate symbols and edges drawn from real ASTs, not guesses.
MCP server
Expose the graph to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, opencode, Hermes, Gemini, Antigravity, and Kiro over MCP — agents answer in a handful of calls.
Impact analysis
Trace callers, callees, and the full impact radius of any symbol before you change a line.

Introducing the new version of Claude Code 2.1.142 in combination with CodeGraph and MCP, which greatly improves the efficiency of exploring large codebases through a local semantic knowledge graph, with a 92% reduction in tool calls and a 71% speed improvement.
@GitHub_Daily: When developing a project with Claude Code, if the codebase is large, every exploration of the code structure requires scanning a bunch of files, resulting in many tool calls, slow speed, and heavy token usage. So I found CodeGraph, an open-source tool that pre-builds a semantic knowledge graph for the codebase, allowing Claude Code to query the graph directly instead of scanning files one by one...
CodeGraph is an open-source tool that pre-builds a semantic knowledge graph for codebases, allowing Claude Code to query the graph instead of scanning files one by one, thereby significantly reducing tool calls (by 92%) and improving exploration speed (by 71%). It supports 19 programming languages and 13 frameworks.
@VincentLogic: AI coding assistants scan the entire project every time they modify code, and the token consumption breaks my heart. After installing CodeGraph, it no longer fumbles around like a headless fly using grep to search files. It first builds a local index graph, organizing function definitions, variable references, and call relationships. When AI needs to work, it directly queries…
CodeGraph reduces the number of times an AI coding assistant scans the entire project by building a local index graph, significantly lowering token consumption and improving speed, compatible with VS Code, Claude Code, and Cursor.
@VincentLogic: This open-source project cuts Claude Code's costs by 25%. It doesn't build new models or a new IDE. It just draws a "code map" for the AI coding agent. Traditional approach: the model reads the entire repo → token explosion. Its approach: first parse the code with Tree-si…
An open-source project uses Tree-sitter to parse code into a graph structure and store it in local SQLite, providing a code map for AI coding agents, thereby reducing token consumption and costs. On average, it saves 57% tokens and reduces costs by 25%. Supports tools like Claude Code, Cursor, aider, etc.
