 "github": "https://github.com/oooscoos/Benzi",
 "what": "Benzi is a compiler that parses a codebase into a queryable map of calls, data flow, control flow and class hierarchy, which coding agents then use to read, explain, run, edit and verify code.",
 "why": "170 stars, launched 89 days ago",
 "language": "HTML",
 "requirements": [
  "Python 3.11 to 3.14 on Windows, macOS or Linux, for the pip install",
  "An email address for the one-time login code",
  "An API key from Anthropic or a non-Anthropic provider (DeepSeek, Groq, Kimi and others) for the Benzi agent, or an existing MCP-capable agent such as Claude Code or Cursor for the MCP server"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Developers and teams who use coding agents on real repos and want the agent to answer from a precise code map instead of grepped source, with Benzi free to use during beta.",
