## In short

Code intelligence platform that maps codebases into dependency graphs and exposes 16 MCP tools to AI editors (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf). Trending on GitHub with 29.6k stars and +667 added today.

## What it is

GitNexus indexes your codebase into a graph database, mapping every function, class, import, and call chain across 14+ languages. It then exposes this graph as an MCP server, so AI editors like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex can answer structural questions — what depends on this function, what would break if I rename this type — without re-scanning files on every query.

## How it works

A CLI or browser-based web UI builds the initial index. The resulting graph is served via a local MCP server process. AI editors connect and gain access to 16 tools: impact analysis (all callers/dependents of a symbol), hybrid search (fuzzy + semantic over the graph), 360-degree symbol views, multi-file rename with dependency tracking, raw Cypher queries, and pre-commit change analysis. Indexes update incrementally on file changes.

## Why it matters

AI coding agents fail on large codebases because they lack structural memory — they either ignore unknown files or hallucinate dependencies. GitNexus gives agents a precomputed relational map they can query cheaply, reducing hallucinated refactors and broken imports. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Windsurf without changing the agent's core architecture.

## Who it's for

Engineering teams using AI editors on large or unfamiliar codebases
