Basic Memory: local-first MCP memory so you and your AI tools build a shared knowledge graph in Markdown
High-performance code intelligence MCP server: your codebase as a persistent knowledge graph
codebase-memory-mcp is an open-source ai agents project by DeusData (DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp on GitHub). It has 46,150 GitHub stars and 3,796 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 7 October 2026.
Decide what you want from codebase-memory-mcp and check the README and requirements to confirm it fits your setup and C environment.
Clone the repository from GitHub (github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp) or use the documented install channel if you do not need the source.
Follow the README quickstart to install dependencies and set any required configuration or credentials.
Work through the README's first example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.
Indexes codebases into a persistent knowledge graph stored in SQLite.
Supports 158 programming languages through tree-sitter based parsing.
One static binary with zero dependencies — install is a single script.
Graph queries answer in sub-millisecond times, per the project description.
Designed to answer code questions with far fewer tokens than reading raw files.
Includes a graph visualization UI and an auto-indexing session daemon.
Start by getting the source and entering the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp.git
cd codebase-memory-mcpThe README's quick start installs the binary with one curl command.
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp/main/install.sh | bashLet it auto-index your codebase, then connect it as an MCP server to Claude Code, Cursor or Codex.
# see README for the exact command — Quick StartIt is maintained by DeusData and contributors on GitHub, where the repository github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp is the canonical home for code, issues and releases.
Yes — it is open source under the MIT license. Read the license in the repository for what is permitted, including any conditions on redistribution or commercial use.
No. It runs fully locally as a binary; your agent keeps using your own account.
Compared with grep and manual exploration: This server pre-indexes a queryable graph, so agents get structural answers in milliseconds instead of scanning files.
Clone github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp, follow the README quickstart to install it, and run the documented first example before adapting it to your own work.
