What is ai-architect-mcp-codebase?

A codebase-understanding service that helps map a software repository, analyze the likely impact of a change, and check a proposed change plan. A repository is the project's files and version history; this service runs through an MCP connection.

Use it to explore a codebase, assess which areas a change may affect, and validate a planned implementation before coding.

It helps developers understand how code is related before changing it and spot gaps in a plan's expected impact. It requires its command-line binary to be installed and available on the system path.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cdeust/ai-architect-mcp-codebase

Made for: Gemini CLI.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-architect-mcp-codebase scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 50 executable files (scripts/bootstrap_pins.py, scripts/check_distribution_identity.py, scripts/check_doc_claims.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What ships with it

60 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
