code-review-graph

Stop burning tokens. Start reviewing smarter.

AI coding tools re-read your entire codebase on every task. code-review-graph fixes that. It builds a structural map of your code with Tree-sitter, tracks changes incrementally, and gives your AI assistant precise context via MCP so it reads only what matters.

Quick Start

pip install code-review-graph                     # or: pipx install code-review-graph
code-review-graph install          # auto-detects and configures all supported platforms
code-review-graph build            # parse your codebase

One command sets up everything. install detects which AI coding tools you have, writes the correct MCP configuration for each one, and injects graph-aware instructions into your platform rules. It auto-detects whether you installed via uvx or pip/pipx and generates the right config. Restart your editor/tool after installing.

To target a specific platform:

code-review-graph install --platform cursor      # configure only Cursor
code-review-graph install --platform claude-code  # configure only Claude Code

Requires Python 3.10+. For the best experience, install uv (the MCP config will use uvx if available, otherwise falls back to the code-review-graph command directly).

Then open your project and ask your AI assistant:

Build the code review graph for this project

The initial build takes ~10 seconds for a 500-file project. After that, the graph updates automatically on every file edit and git commit.

How It Works

Your repository is parsed into an AST with Tree-sitter, stored as a graph of nodes (functions, classes, imports) and edges (calls, inheritance, test coverage), then queried at review time to compute the minimal set of files your AI assistant needs to read.

Blast-radius analysis

When a file changes, the graph traces every caller, dependent, and test that could be affected. This is the "blast radius" of the change. Your AI reads only these files instead of scanning the whole project.

Incremental updates in < 2 seconds

On every git commit or file save, a hook fires. The graph diffs changed files, finds their dependents via SHA-256 hash checks, and re-parses only what changed. A 2,900-file project re-indexes in under 2 seconds.
