# Graphicle (slim)

> Graphicle is an open-source Rust program that builds a code graph of a repository and keeps its documents, reviewed decisions and past coding-agent sessions, served to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients as cited excerpts.

Assessment: One local program gives a coding agent a code graph and project memory through 25 typed, annotated MCP tools that return cited excerpts within a token budget, with agent-written memories held for human approval. It is one day old at version 0.1.0, its SDKs are not on any registry, and the licence and advisory check fails on main.

## Facts

- Kind: MCP server · vendor: KarLex AI, Inc. · category: Agent memory · legal entity: KarLex AI, Inc. · provenance 65/100
- Local only (stdio, Streamable HTTP)
- Auth: OAuth or key · pricing: Free · x402: no · licence: Apache-2.0
- Probe metrics: not measured yet (probes haven't run)
- Surface listed: The `graphicle` program v0.1.0 and its MCP server (stdio, and HTTP through `graphicle serve`), read from the repository, docs, changelog and karlex.ai on 15 October 2026. Nothing was installed or run
- Age: One day. Repository created and v0.1.0 published on 14 October 2026; three commits on main by 15 October
- Interfaces: Command line (`setup`, `ask`, `context`, `graph`, `open`), one MCP server, a browser app, an HTTP API at `/v1/workspaces/{workspace}/repos/{repository}/commands` with `/v1/openapi.json`, and Python and TypeScript SDKs installed from source
- MCP tools: 14 read tools for recall, sources, memory and graph history, 7 code-graph tools under Graphify's names, `graph_link`, and 3 memory-proposal tools with `--allow-learning`. Optional work-state and GitHub pull-request tools
- Memory: Original sources kept word for word, reviewed decisions, preferences and procedures, and captured Claude Code and Codex turns. Reviewed memories tied to a code symbol go stale when that symbol changes
- Storage: One SQLite store in the user's data folder. Optional Neo4j, Qdrant and Redis adapters
- Models: None needed for the graph (code-only), sync, recall or MCP. Anthropic, OpenAI or Ollama for `ask` answers and memory extraction
- Connectors: GitHub, Slack, Notion, Google, Jira and Confluence in Core, each authorised by the owner
- Platforms: macOS and Linux (glibc) on arm64 and x86_64, through a Homebrew tap, an install script that checks SHA-256 and release archives. No native Windows build
- Team use: `graphicle serve` behind the owner's TLS proxy, with per-key roles, expiry and project lists. A commercial team edition is in private preview
- Benchmarks: The vendor reports a code-only Kubernetes extract in 3 min 18 s against 26 min 38 s for Graphify 0.9.88 (one exploratory run each), and a memory comparison with seven systems. Vendor measurements, not ours

- Scores: Reliability 63, Performance pending, Schema & documentation 83, Agent ergonomics 86, Security & auth 69, Payments & pricing 60, Task success pending, Maintenance & community 48, Transparency & trust 68 · total over the 7 assessed categories
- Why: Reliability, Read as local software. · Schema & documentation, Every MCP tool has a JSON Schema input with `additionalProperties: false` and required fields marked, read from the tool list fixture in the… · Agent ergonomics, 25 tools with memory proposals on, which `graphicle setup` turns on by default, about 24,000 characters of definitions (15). · Security & auth, Read with the API checklist for a server the owner runs, as for Cognee and Graphiti. · Payments & pricing, No payment protocol (0). · Maintenance & community, v0.1.0 on 14 October 2026 (30). · Transparency & trust, Apache-2.0 with NOTICE files that credit Graphify and every adapted project (30).

## Before you call it

1. Call `recall_project` with a `max_tokens` budget, then `read_project_source` with the cited id and byte offset to continue a cut excerpt
2. Use `query_graph`, `get_neighbors` and `shortest_path` for structure questions, and pass `repo` to reach another synced project
3. Treat proposed memories as drafts. They are not served until a person approves them in `graphicle open` under Memory
4. Ask the user before running `graphicle setup`, which edits agent settings, AGENTS.md and Git hooks, and use `graphicle disconnect` to undo it
5. Over HTTP send the key as `Authorization: Bearer`, never in the URL, and on 429 wait for the Retry-After reset

## Connect

```bash
brew install graphicle-ai/tap/graphicle && cd your-repo && graphicle setup
```

```bash
graphicle sync . && graphicle connect claude-code
```
