Codebase Understanding MCP

The Codebase Understanding MCP server shares your Knowledge Layer context with coding agents, enabling them to understand your codebase and answer questions about it.

Endpoint: https://api.prode.ai/code-parsing/v1/mcp/

What It Does

This MCP server gives your coding agent access to ProdE's Knowledge Layer — the indexed, AI-enriched representation of your repositories. Instead of generic code suggestions, your agent can:

• Answer codebase questions — "Where is authentication implemented?" or "How does the payment flow work?"
• Understand cross-repo relationships — Find how services interact across multiple repositories
• Search code precisely — Regex search across files, semantic symbol search, and documentation lookup
• Navigate structure — Explore folder layouts, read files, and trace symbol usages

Available Tools

Tool	Description
get_all_repositories	List all repositories available in your Knowledge Layer
get_high_level_context	Get AI-summarized documentation and code symbol discovery across repos
get_documentations	Fetch full auto-generated documentation content
search_file_contents	Regex-based search across repository files
read_file	Read specific files from your repositories
