How to give your coding agent the code graph and project memory with Graphicle

Install Graphicle once and connect your coding agents to the repo's code graph and memory.

Who it is forA developer using Claude Code, Codex or Cursor on a repository who wants the agent to find code and decisions without searching blindly.

The problemA coding agent has to search the repository from scratch each time, and project docs and past decisions are scattered across files and sessions.

The outcomeThe agent calls Graphicle's tools and gets relevant code, docs and decisions as excerpts with file names and line numbers.

What you need first

  • A local Git repository with the code you want to index
  • Homebrew, or the install script from the Graphicle README, to install the program
  • A terminal on macOS or Linux, or the Windows preview build for x86-64
  • A coding agent that supports MCP, such as Claude Code, Codex or Cursor (optional, for agent use)

Steps

  1. Run brew install graphicle-ai/tap/graphicle (or use the install script from the README if you do not use Homebrew).
  2. Open a terminal in your repository and run cd your-repo.
  3. Run graphicle setup and read the list of files it changed; it backs each one up first.
  4. Ask your agent: "use Graphicle to find where failed requests are retried".
  5. Run graphicle doctor if the agent does not see the Graphicle tools.

Prompt for your agent

In the Graphicle-AI/graphicle repository's setup, run `graphicle setup --yes` in <repo-path>, then list every file it changed. Expected output: a list of changed files and a confirmation that the Graphicle MCP server is connected. Verify by asking the agent to use graphicle to find <topic> and checking that the answer cites file names and line ranges.

Caveat. Setup edits agent configuration files and Git hooks, so review the list of changed files it prints, and remember that `graphicle disconnect` undoes what it added.
