Graphify: Turning Codebases and Documentation into Knowledge Graphs for AI Assistants

RepositoryGraphify-Labs/graphifyTool

Graphify converts codebases, documentation, SQL schemas, configurations, and PDFs into queryable knowledge graphs. The Python-based open-source tool integrates as a skill into assistants like Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI, relying on deterministic local AST parsing without vector databases.

Key points

  1. Converts codebases, docs, SQL schemas, configs, and PDFs into structured knowledge graphs.
  2. Uses deterministic local AST parsing (including Tree-sitter) without requiring a vector store.
  3. Provides explainable edges to represent structural code relationships explicitly.
  4. Works as a /graphify skill and MCP integration for Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and Gemini CLI.
  5. Licensed under Apache-2.0 and distributed via PyPI under the graphifyy package name.

Why it matters

Standard vector-based RAG frequently struggles with large software projects because it loses structural and relational context. A deterministic knowledge graph provides coding agents with exact architectural context, improving reasoning and reducing hallucinations.

Analysis

Graphify addresses the shortcomings of embedding-based retrieval in AI code workflows. Rather than treating code as plain text chunks in a vector database, it extracts structural dependencies deterministically via AST parsing. The technology stack builds on Python, Tree-sitter, Leiden clustering, and MCP protocols. It is intended for software engineers using coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor, or Gemini CLI across non-trivial repositories. With more than 114,000 stars, over 11,000 forks on GitHub, and active package distribution via PyPI, the project demonstrates exceptionally high adoption and community maturity.
