abhigyanpatwari/GitNexus

GitNexus indexes Git repositories and ZIP files into a precomputed knowledge graph using Tree-sitter, exposing architectural context to AI coding agents through 17 MCP tools and a browser-based graph explorer. It is designed for developers who need AI assistants to understand codebase dependencies, call chains, and execution flows without manual exploration.

Best for

Developers using MCP-compatible AI coding tools who need to provide structural codebase context without requiring manual agent exploration of raw graph edges.
Users who want to explore code dependencies visually or via AI chat directly in a web browser.

Key capabilities

Parses codebases using Tree-sitter to extract dependencies, call chains, and execution flows into a knowledge graph.
Precomputes structure at index time, including clustering, tracing, and scoring, so AI tools return complete context in one call.
Provides 17 MCP tools for code intelligence, accessible via a local MCP server.
Provides a visual graph explorer and an AI chat interface accessible in the browser.
Generates repository wiki documentation directly from the extracted knowledge graph.
Installs exploration, debugging, and refactoring skills automatically to the .claude/skills/ directory.
Plans to only re-index changed files instead of the entire codebase to save processing time.

Limitations and risks

GitNexus has no official cryptocurrency, token, or coin. Any token using the GitNexus name is unaffiliated with the project.
The Web UI is limited by browser memory and can handle approximately 5,000 files unless operated in backend mode.

Getting started

Setup is rated as easy via the CLI, providing one-command setup and analysis. Users can start by running 'npx gitnexus analyze' followed by 'npx gitnexus setup'.
