Pure-C static binary for macOS/Linux/Windows: tree-sitter across 162 languages, Hybrid LSP for common stacks, 17 MCP tools, optional 3D graph UI on localhost. No in-server LLM key and no hosted service — index stays on the machine. Research preprint claims large token/tool-call cuts vs naive exploration.","theCatch":"Vs CodeGraph, Serena, and Supermemory: this is a persistent local code-graph MCP from a static binary, not an AST/MCP peer alone, an LSP-symbol MCP alone, or a general memory API. Default install is curl|bash; Microsoft Defender has false-positived release binaries (Wacatac-family); star velocity is extreme (~45k, repo created 2026-02) — verify checksums/VirusTotal links before trusting the pipeline.","verdict":"MIT local code-graph MCP when agents need structural queries without a server-side model key; audit the install path and treat the ★ spike as a signal, not proof.","addedAt":"2026-09-24","featured":false,"domain":"AI Agents","subSpecialty":"Code Context","subcategory":"Code Context","tags":["mcp","self-host","permissive","memory","active","fast-stars"],"capabilities":["mcp","graph","local"],"surfaces":["MCP","Self-host"],"ecosystem":["Multi-platform"],"licenseModel":"OSS/MIT","githubStars":46878,"starsPerWeek":1381,"access":"free","archived":false,"repo":{"createdAt":"2026-02-24","pushedAt":"2026-10-19","license":"MIT","archived":false,"checkedAt":"2026-10-19"}},"related":[{"slug":"claude-code","name":"Claude Code","tagline":"Terminal-first coding agent with deep repository context"},{"slug":"cursor","name":"Cursor","tagline":"The AI-first code editor that understands your codebase"},{"slug":"devin","name":"Devin","tagline":"Autonomous AI engineer for defined engineering tasks"},{"slug":"stagehand","name":"Stagehand","tagline":"AI-native browser automation that mixes code and natural language"},{"slug":"browser-use","name":"Browser Use","tagline":"Open-source framework for LLM-driven browser agents"}],"links":{"self":"/api/gems/codebase-memory-mcp","html":"/gems/codebase-memory-mcp","markdown":"/gems/codebase-memory-mcp.md","category":"/api/gems?category=agents","categoryPage":"/stacks/agents"}}
