Kivgraph MCP server

Kivgraph is a helper you run on your own computer that gives your AI coding assistant a map of your code. It reads your projects once and then answers questions about how the pieces connect. It is handy for developers who work in larger codebases, especially across more than one project.

What this MCP server does

First, Kivgraph reads your code and builds a map of it. Then, when you ask your AI something like who calls this function, the AI passes that question to Kivgraph. Kivgraph looks it up in its map and sends back the answer with file names and line numbers. Your AI shows you the result in the chat. It can also tell you when nothing uses a piece of code, which a simple text search cannot do.

What you can do with it

• Find who calls a function or references a name
• See what would break if you change something
• Trace what a piece of code depends on
• Find where a symbol is declared
• Search for code by what it does when you do not know its name
• See which other repositories use something
• Get the source code of specific symbols

Try asking your AI

• “Who calls the function parseConfig in this repository?”
• “What breaks if I change the UserService class?”
• “Find where the symbol OrderTotal is declared.”
• “Which other repositories use the auth helper?”

What it gives back to you

You get back lists of results, each with the repository, file path, full name, and line numbers. You also get short answers, like a list of callers or a list of things that depend on a symbol. When you ask for source code, it shows the code itself. Sometimes the answer is empty, and that means nothing uses it, not that the search failed.

Before you start

Who it's for

Developers and engineers who work in larger or multi-project codebases and want their AI assistant to understand how the code connects.
