Graphify

Open-source tool that turns a codebase and its docs into a knowledge graph AI coding assistants can query, with paid hosted plans from Graphify Labs.

Our take: Graphify answers a real problem: coding assistants forget a repository between sessions and burn tokens re-reading it.

Graphify turns a codebase and its docs into a knowledge graph that AI coding assistants such as Claude Code, Cursor and Codex can query over MCP. The command-line tool is free and open source under Apache 2.0; Graphify Labs also sells hosted plans, with Pro at $10 a month billed yearly.

The bottom line

Worth installing for large repos and agent-heavy workflows; skip it for small projects.

What it really isAn open-source code knowledge graph builder for AI coding assistants, with hosted plans from Graphify Labs.
Our takeGraphify answers a real problem: coding assistants forget a repository between sessions and burn tokens re-reading it.
The free CLI maps the code locally and exposes it over MCP, so the assistant follows actual call paths. The token savings are the vendor's own figures, and a small repo has less to gain. Start with the free CLI and pay only if you want hosted graphs or team sharing.
Why we rate itA free, local, open-source core with more than 123,000 GitHub stars and support for many assistants, plus a $10 paid tier.
The catchCLI setup, LLM costs for non-code files, and token savings that are the vendor's own benchmark.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • Developers using Claude Code, Cursor or Codex on large repos
  • Teams onboarding to unfamiliar codebases
  • Privacy-minded teams that want local parsing
Not good for
  • Small projects that already fit in an assistant's context
  • Non-technical users who want a GUI-only tool
  • Buyers who need a mature enterprise contract today
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Low for developers: one install command and one /graphify run.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Free hosted plan caps graph size at 25,000 nodes per repo and PR reviews at 15 a month.
  3. Walled garden
    Low: Apache 2.0 code, graph.json output and exports for tools like Obsidian and Neo4j.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Graphify used for?

Graphify builds a knowledge graph of a codebase and its docs so AI coding assistants can look up how files, functions and concepts connect instead of re-reading the whole repository each session.

Is Graphify free?

The command-line tool is free and open source under Apache 2.0, with no account needed. The hosted product also has a Free plan. Pro costs $10 a month billed yearly or $15 monthly, and Teams $20 per seat a month billed yearly for the first 100 teams (checked 4 October 2026).

How do I add Graphify to Claude Code?

Install the package with uv tool install graphifyy (or pipx), which needs Python 3.10 or later, then type /graphify . in Claude Code to build a graph of the current folder. The PyPI package is spelled graphifyy; the command is graphify.

How does Graphify reduce token usage?

Your assistant queries a prebuilt graph instead of reading raw files. Graphify reports 71.5x fewer tokens per query on its own mixed example of repos, papers and images. That is the vendor's benchmark; savings on your repository will depend on its size.

Is Graphify good?

It is useful on large or unfamiliar repositories where assistants waste context re-reading code, and the core runs locally for free. Small projects that already fit in an assistant's context have less to gain, and docs and images still need LLM calls.

Is Graphify on GitHub?

Yes. The official repository is Graphify-Labs/graphify on GitHub, licensed Apache 2.0. Other repositories with similar names, including the top search result we saw, are not the official project.
