codebase-memory-mcp alternatives
Curated alternatives to codebase-memory-mcp — and why you'd switch.
tokensave
Code-intelligence MCP server for coding agents — a pre-indexed semantic graph (libSQL + FTS5) they query instead of grepping: symbols, callers, impact radius in one call. 100% local, 50+ languages.
Why switchThe same exact job — pre-indexed structural code intelligence over MCP so agents stop grepping. TokenSave is a libSQL semantic graph across 50+ languages; codebase-memory is a zero-dependency C binary betting everything on speed: 158 languages, sub-ms.
Full comparison →code-review-graph
Local-first code intelligence graph for AI coding tools: Tree-sitter AST graph + blast-radius analysis served over MCP, so agents read ~82x fewer tokens per review question.
Why switchBoth build tree-sitter AST graphs served over MCP with blast-radius answers. code-review-graph is tuned for the review workflow (82x fewer tokens per review question); codebase-memory is the general-purpose engine with LSP-grade types.
Full comparison →cocoindex-code
AST-based semantic code search for coding agents: pipx install, zero config, local embeddings out of the box — a CLI/skill/MCP that cuts agent context ~70% vs grepping. Built on CocoIndex.
Why switchThe two query styles of agent code context: cocoindex-code embeds AST chunks for semantic 'find the code that does X'; codebase-memory graphs symbols for structural 'who calls this and what breaks'. Different questions — many stacks want both.
