CodeAlive hooks your AI assistant into a GraphRAG-powered semantic code search engine built for large codebases. You get eight tools out of the box: semantic_search for concept-based lookups, grep_search for regex and exact matches, fetch_artifacts to pull full source, get_artifact_relationships to walk call graphs and dependencies, and a chat tool for synthesized Q&A when search alone isn't enough. It's designed to replace guesswork in multi-file workflows. The project recommends pairing the MCP server with their Agent Skill package, which teaches agents the right query patterns and tool sequences. Remote HTTP transport is the preferred setup, pointed at mcp.codealive.ai with a bearer token. Works with Claude, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, and thirty-plus other agents.
