Hi guys, I m working on this opensource project gitnexus, have posted about it here before too, I have just published a CLI tool which will index your repo locally and expose it through MCP ( skip the video 30 seconds to see claude code integration ).
Got some great idea from comments before and applied it, pls try it and give feedback.
What it does:
It creates knowledge graph of codebases, make clusters, process maps. Basically skipping the tech jargon, the idea is to make the tools themselves smarter so LLMs can offload a lot of the retrieval reasoning part to the tools, making LLMs much more reliable. I found haiku 4.5 was able to outperform opus 4.5 using its MCP on deep architectural context.
Therefore, it can accurately do auditing, impact detection, trace the call chains and be accurate while saving a lot of tokens especially on monorepos. LLM gets much more reliable since it gets Deep Architectural Insights and AST based relations, making it able to see all upstream / downstream dependencies and what is located where exactly without having to read through files.
Also you can run gitnexus wiki to generate an accurate wiki of your repo covering everything reliably ( highly recommend minimax m2.5 cheap and great for this usecase )
repo wiki of gitnexus made by gitnexus :-) https://gistcdn.githack.com/abhigyantrumio/575c5eaf957e56194d5efe2293e2b7ab/raw/index.html#other
Webapp: https://gitnexus.vercel.app/
repo: https://github.com/abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus (A ⭐ would help a lot :-) )
to set it up:
1> npm install -g gitnexus
2> on the root of a repo or wherever the .git is configured run gitnexus analyze
3> add the MCP on whatever coding tool u prefer, right now claude code will use it better since I gitnexus intercepts its native tools and enriches them with relational context so it works better without even using the MCP.
Also try out the skills - will be auto setup when u run gitnexus analyze

Everything is client sided both the CLI and webapp ( webapp uses webassembly to run the DB engine, AST parsers etc )
