From grep to graph — code intel via MCP

What it does

Most code-context tools lock you to one IDE. code-lens-aI is MCP-native — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, Cline, any agent. Goes beyond grep + embeddings: Leiden communities surface real architectural subsystems with spine files. impact_analysis returns a verdict ("Risky: 11 callers, 3 subsystems"), not a data dump. generate_wiki ships a structural skeleton in one call. Incremental, git-aware: 2900-file repos re-index in 1.5s. Open source, runs locally on Neo4j + Docker.

    Author here! Some context: I published this 48 hours ago and it was auto-listed on MCPMarket (the MCP tools directory). Got 700+ organic downloads with zero marketing—developers were actively searching for exactly this solution. The "Git Accelerator" optimization story: Initially used a file walker that took 6.6s on Chromium. Profiling showed 90% was filesystem I&#x2F;O. The fix: git ls-files returns 480k paths in ~200ms. Added smart heuristics for untracked files (only scan dirs <50k files), bringing total to 0.46s. Why this matters: Agents can't wait 10 seconds for search. Sub-500ms makes…

    A "Codebase" as an MCP ServerSep 2025 · github.com · ▲20

    We built a reference MCP server that lets your editor&#x2F;agent learn a codebase directly from source (signatures, types, AST, comments). Docs are optional. The reference impl runs on our open-source project’s codebase. Why we built it Docs are important, but they add another abstraction layer between your code and your users. Keeping them at the right quality is hard (especially at a startup), and LLM-generated docs are often mediocre until you invest real polish. Exposing code to the model in a structured way keeps answers grounded and current, and it’s always available. You can even…

  • I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes&#x2F;sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

  • Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens&#x2F;sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens&#x2F;sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok&#x2F;s prefill and 1200 tok&#x2F;s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
