FAQ

Does Codebase Memory MCP need a cloud backend?

No — it indexes locally into a persistent knowledge graph on disk. No data leaves your machine.

How is it different from IDE-built-in code search?

It answers natural-language questions about your codebase with symbol-level precision and sub-ms lookups, beyond plain text search.

Which languages does it support?

The project advertises broad language coverage via tree-sitter grammars; check the repo for the current list.
