Stop re-explaining your codebase to your AI agent
Plug CodeAlive into Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex over MCP. Your agent gets semantic search across every repo you own instead of grepping one checkout file by file.
Coding agents are fast, but context-blind
- Your agent sees one repo checkout while the behavior you're changing spans services, shared libraries, and infra.
- Agents reinvent utilities and patterns your team already maintains because they can't find the existing implementation.
- Whole files get read into context to locate one function — tokens burn and answer quality drops.
- Every new session starts from zero, so you re-explain the same architecture again and again.
- Teammates ping you with "how does this work?" because the answer lives in your head, not in the docs.
Ground your agent in the entire system
CodeAlive indexes all your repos — services, libraries, infra — into one semantic layer. One MCP config later, your agent answers from the real architecture instead of guessing.
What your agent gets over MCP
One-Snippet MCP Setup
Add CodeAlive to Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex with a single config snippet — or run npx @codealive/installer. Same context layer in every tool.
Semantic Search Across Repos
semantic_search finds where behavior actually lives — by meaning, not string matching — across every service, library, and infra repo you own.
Reuse Before Rewrite
Before writing a new helper, the agent checks what already exists and follows your team's conventions instead of inventing parallel ones.
Token-Efficient Context
Agents pull the relevant snippets instead of reading whole files, so the context window stays focused on the task and quality holds on long sessions.
Cross-Repo Impact Tracing
See who calls your API and what breaks if you change a contract — across repositories, before code review finds out.
Fewer Interruptions
PMs, analysts, and new joiners ask CodeAlive instead of pinging you. They get code-grounded answers; you stay in flow.
How developers use CodeAlive
- 1
Connect Your Agent
Index your repos once, then add the MCP server to Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex. Every session starts grounded in the full codebase.
- 2
Plan Against Real Architecture
Before a feature, ask how the flow works today across services — get actual call paths and the patterns to follow.
- 3
Implement Without Reinventing
The agent searches existing implementations and conventions first, then writes code that fits the codebase it lands in.
- 4
Check Impact Before Merge
Trace consumers of the contract you're changing across repos — catch breakage before the PR, not after the deploy.
What changes in your day
- Agent answers grounded in the real codebase, not a plausible guess.
- Context window spent on reasoning, not on file dumps.
- Fewer "how does this work?" interruptions from teammates.
Give your agent the context you carry in your head
Connect your repos once — every agent session and every teammate gets grounded answers from then on.
