Package Exports
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (gitnexus) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
GitNexus
Graph-powered code intelligence for AI agents. Index any codebase into a knowledge graph, then query it via MCP or CLI.
Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode, and any MCP-compatible tool.
Why?
AI coding tools don't understand your codebase structure. They edit a function without knowing 47 other functions depend on it. GitNexus fixes this by precomputing every dependency, call chain, and relationship into a queryable graph.
Three commands to give your AI agent full codebase awareness.
Quick Start
# Index your repo (run from repo root)
npx gitnexus analyzeThat's it. This indexes the codebase, installs agent skills, registers Claude Code hooks, and creates AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md context files — all in one command.
To configure MCP for your editor, run npx gitnexus setup once — or set it up manually below.
gitnexus setup auto-detects your editors and writes the correct global MCP config. You only need to run it once.
Editor Support
| Editor | MCP | Skills | Hooks (auto-augment) | Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Claude Code | Yes | Yes | Yes (PreToolUse) | Full |
| Cursor | Yes | Yes | — | MCP + Skills |
| Windsurf | Yes | — | — | MCP |
| OpenCode | Yes | Yes | — | MCP + Skills |
Claude Code gets the deepest integration: MCP tools + agent skills + PreToolUse hooks that automatically enrich grep/glob/bash calls with knowledge graph context.
MCP Setup (manual)
If you prefer to configure manually instead of using gitnexus setup:
Claude Code (full support — MCP + skills + hooks)
claude mcp add gitnexus -- npx -y gitnexus@latest mcpCursor / Windsurf
Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json (global — works for all projects):
{
"mcpServers": {
"gitnexus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gitnexus@latest", "mcp"]
}
}
}OpenCode
Add to ~/.config/opencode/config.json:
{
"mcp": {
"gitnexus": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "gitnexus@latest", "mcp"]
}
}
}What It Does
GitNexus indexes your codebase through 7 phases:
- Structure — File/folder tree
- Parse — AST extraction via Tree-sitter (9 languages)
- Imports — Resolve import paths (including TS path aliases, Rust modules, Java wildcards, Go packages)
- Calls — Function call resolution with confidence scoring (0.3-0.9)
- Heritage — Class extends/implements chains
- Communities — Leiden algorithm clusters related code into functional groups
- Processes — Entry point detection and execution flow tracing
The result is a KuzuDB graph database stored locally in .gitnexus/ with full-text search and semantic embeddings.
MCP Tools
Your AI agent gets these tools automatically:
| Tool | What It Does | repo Param |
|---|---|---|
list_repos |
Discover all indexed repositories | — |
query |
Process-grouped hybrid search (BM25 + semantic + RRF) | Optional |
context |
360-degree symbol view — categorized refs, process participation | Optional |
impact |
Blast radius analysis with depth grouping and confidence | Optional |
detect_changes |
Git-diff impact — maps changed lines to affected processes | Optional |
rename |
Multi-file coordinated rename with graph + text search | Optional |
cypher |
Raw Cypher graph queries | Optional |
With one indexed repo, the
repoparam is optional. With multiple, specify which:query({query: "auth", repo: "my-app"}).
MCP Resources
| Resource | Purpose |
|---|---|
gitnexus://repos |
List all indexed repositories (read first) |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/context |
Codebase stats, staleness check, and available tools |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/clusters |
All functional clusters with cohesion scores |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/cluster/{name} |
Cluster members and details |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/processes |
All execution flows |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/process/{name} |
Full process trace with steps |
gitnexus://repo/{name}/schema |
Graph schema for Cypher queries |
MCP Prompts
| Prompt | What It Does |
|---|---|
detect_impact |
Pre-commit change analysis — scope, affected processes, risk level |
generate_map |
Architecture documentation from the knowledge graph with mermaid diagrams |
CLI Commands
gitnexus setup # Configure MCP for your editors (one-time)
gitnexus analyze [path] # Index a repository (or update stale index)
gitnexus analyze --force # Force full re-index
gitnexus analyze --skip-embeddings # Skip embedding generation (faster)
gitnexus mcp # Start MCP server (stdio) — serves all indexed repos
gitnexus serve # Start HTTP server for web UI
gitnexus list # List all indexed repositories
gitnexus status # Show index status for current repo
gitnexus clean # Delete index for current repo
gitnexus clean --all --force # Delete all indexes
gitnexus wiki [path] # Generate LLM-powered docs from knowledge graph
gitnexus wiki --model <model> # Wiki with custom LLM model (default: gpt-4o-mini)Multi-Repo Support
GitNexus supports indexing multiple repositories. Each gitnexus analyze registers the repo in a global registry (~/.gitnexus/registry.json). The MCP server serves all indexed repos automatically with lazy KuzuDB connections (max 5 concurrent, evicted after 5 minutes idle).
Supported Languages
TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, C, C++, C#, Go, Rust
Agent Skills
GitNexus ships with skill files that teach AI agents how to use the tools effectively:
- Exploring — Navigate unfamiliar code using the knowledge graph
- Debugging — Trace bugs through call chains
- Impact Analysis — Analyze blast radius before changes
- Refactoring — Plan safe refactors using dependency mapping
Installed automatically by both gitnexus analyze (per-repo) and gitnexus setup (global).
Requirements
- Node.js >= 18
- Git repository (uses git for commit tracking)
Privacy
- All processing happens locally on your machine
- No code is sent to any server
- Index stored in
.gitnexus/inside your repo (gitignored) - Global registry at
~/.gitnexus/stores only paths and metadata
Web UI
GitNexus also has a browser-based UI at gitnexus.vercel.app — 100% client-side, your code never leaves the browser.
