Graft alternatives
Curated alternatives to Graft — and why you'd switch.
codebase-memory-mcp
Code intelligence MCP in pure C: tree-sitter knowledge graph over 158 languages, average repo indexed in milliseconds, sub-ms queries, 10x fewer tokens. Single static binary, zero deps.
Why switchSame job — spare agents the re-exploration tax — opposite representations: codebase-memory-mcp serves a symbol-level tree-sitter graph over MCP with sub-ms queries; Graft writes plain-English concept nodes as markdown the agent simply reads.
Full comparison →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 switchBoth replace blind grepping with a pre-built codebase understanding: tokensave is a queryable semantic index (libSQL + FTS5) behind MCP tools; Graft is prose-first — explanation files injected via hooks, no query API to learn.
