Explore and analyze codebases using semantic search, dependency graphs, and context artifacts to understand architecture, find functions and types, trace features, and inspect schemas or specs.
Explore and understand codebases using SocratiCode semantic search, dependency graphs, and context artifacts. Use when exploring code, understanding architecture, finding functions/types, analysing dependencies, searching database schemas or API specs, or when socraticode/codebase_search tools are available. Activates when the user asks about code structure, wants to find where a feature lives, or needs to understand how code is organised.
Set up, index, and manage SocratiCode codebase indexing. Use when the user wants to index a project, check infrastructure health, start/stop file watching, configure context artifacts, troubleshoot indexing issues, manage the code graph, or any SocratiCode administrative task. Activates when the user mentions indexing, setting up search, SocratiCode infrastructure, or managing the codebase index.

"There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." — Socrates
Your AI reads code. SocratiCode understands it.
The open-source codebase context engine: give any AI instant automated knowledge of your entire codebase (and infrastructure) — at scale, zero configuration, fully private, completely free.
Kindly sponsored by Altaire Limited
🛡️ Need MCP governance together with codebase context? See our sibling project JanuScope — the local-first MCP policy proxy: tool blocking, SQL-mutation gate, PII redaction, audit, rate-limit.
If SocratiCode has been useful to you, please ⭐ star this repo — it helps others discover it — and share it with your dev team and fellow developers!

☁️ SocratiCode Cloud (private beta) — Hosted, shared team index built on the same engine as the open-source version, plus SSO, audit logs, branch-aware indexing, and VPC / air-gapped deployment options. The open-source core remains free forever. Request early access →
One thing, done well: deep codebase intelligence — zero setup, no bloat, fully automatic. SocratiCode gives AI assistants deep semantic understanding of your codebase — hybrid search, cross-project search, polyglot code dependency graphs, symbol-level impact analysis and flow, interactive HTML graph explorer for visual navigation, and searchable context artifacts (database schemas, API specs, infra configs, architecture docs). Zero configuration — add it to any MCP host, or install the Native Plugin for Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Codex or Gemini CLI. It manages everything automatically.
npx claudepluginhub giancarloerra/socraticode --plugin socraticodeGraph-first code intelligence for AI agents. SurrealDB knowledge graph + 52 MCP tools replace Read/Grep/Glob with deterministic graph traversal. 80–95% fewer tokens on code context. Rust-native, fully local.
CodeAlive context engine for semantic code search and AI-powered codebase Q&A. Enables AI coding agents to understand entire codebases beyond just open files — search across all indexed repositories, trace cross-service dependencies, discover usage patterns, and get synthesized answers to architectural questions. Includes a lightweight code exploration subagent, authentication hooks, and multiple search modes (fast lexical, semantic, and deep cross-cutting). Works standalone or alongside the CodeAlive MCP server for direct tool access via the Model Context Protocol.
Codebase intelligence for Claude Code. Indexes your codebase into five layers (Graph, Git, Docs, Decisions, Code Health) and exposes them through nine task-shaped MCP tools — so Claude understands architecture, ownership, hotspots, why code is built the way it is, and where the defect risk lives.
Local codebase intelligence + change-safety gates for coding agents. Pre-indexes your repo's symbols, call graph, deps, and git history into SQLite (28 languages, 100% local, zero API keys), then exposes a lean 16-tool MCP core preset: graph-precise search, callers/impact blast radius, coupling, dead code, taint reachability, and pre-merge verify/critique gates that catch regressions, broken references, AI-slop duplication, and convention drift before they ship.
