Why Graft?
AI coding tools are only as good as the context they receive. Most tools either have no codebase understanding, or use proprietary indexing locked to a single editor.
Graft gives any MCP-compatible AI tool deep structural understanding of your codebase:
- 100K lines of code represented in ~2K tokens of ranked context
- Dependency-aware — knows which files import what, and what depends on what
- PageRank-scored — surfaces the most structurally important files first
- Tool-agnostic — works with Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, or any MCP client
- Local-first — no cloud, no telemetry, no code ever leaves your machine

Quick Start
# Run instantly with npx (no install needed)
npx graftmap map
# Or install globally
npm install -g graftmap
graft map
MCP Integration
Add Graft to your AI tool's MCP configuration. Once connected, your AI assistant automatically gets ranked codebase context.
Claude Desktop / Claude Code
Add to your MCP settings:
{
"mcpServers": {
"graft": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "graftmap"],
"cwd": "/path/to/your/project"
}
}
}
Cursor
Add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"graft": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "graftmap"],
"cwd": "/path/to/your/project"
}
}
}
Any MCP Client
Graft speaks standard MCP over stdio. Point any MCP-compatible client at npx graftmap and it works.
MCP Tools
Once connected, your AI tool gets these capabilities:
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
graft_map |
Ranked tree map of the codebase by structural importance |
graft_context |
Dependencies and definitions for a specific file |
graft_search |
Find definitions by name or kind (function, class, type, etc.) |
graft_impact |
Files affected by changing a given file |
graft_summary |
Project overview with key files and tech stack |
Plus two MCP resources: graft://map and graft://file/{path}
CLI Commands
graft map # Ranked codebase tree
graft map --focus src/api.ts # Personalized view focused on a file
graft map --budget 4096 # Custom token budget
graft stats # File count, definitions, edges, cache age
graft impact src/auth.ts # What breaks if you change this file?
graft search "handleRequest" # Find definitions by name
graft search "User" --kind class # Filter by kind
graft serve # Start MCP server (default command)

- Discover — finds all supported files, respects
.gitignore - Parse — extracts definitions (functions, classes, types) and references using tree-sitter
- Graph — builds a directed dependency graph (files as nodes, imports as edges)
- Rank — runs personalized PageRank to score files by structural importance
- Render — produces token-budgeted output that fits in any AI context window
- Cache — stores results in
.graft/cache.jsonfor instant re-indexing

Performance
Graft is designed for large codebases:
- Caching — parses once, re-indexes only changed files
- Token-efficient — 100K LOC → ~2K tokens of meaningful context
- Fast — full index of a medium codebase in under 3 seconds
- Memory-efficient — in-memory graph, no external database needed
Configuration
Graft is zero-config by default. It automatically:
- Discovers
.ts,.tsx,.js,.jsx, and.pyfiles - Respects
.gitignorepatterns - Excludes
node_modules,dist,.git, and common build directories - Uses sensible defaults for token budgets and PageRank parameters
No config files needed. Ever.
