Explore Codebase

Use the code-review-graph MCP tools to find your way around the codebase.

Steps

  1. Call get_architecture_overview_tool for the community structure. Call list_communities_tool, then get_community_tool, only for the modules you need.
  2. Call semantic_search_nodes_tool to find a function or class by name or keyword.
  3. Call query_graph_tool with callers_of, callees_of or imports_of to trace relationships. children_of on a file lists its functions and classes.
  4. Call list_flows_tool, then get_flow_tool for one flow, to follow an execution path.
  5. Call find_large_functions_tool to find oversized functions.
  6. Call list_graph_stats_tool only when you need node, edge and language counts.

Token Efficiency Rules

  • Call get_minimal_context_tool(task="<your task>") before any other graph tool.
  • Pass detail_level="minimal" wherever a tool accepts it. Use "standard" only when minimal is not enough.
  • Prefer a targeted query_graph_tool call over a broad listing call.
  • Budget: about five tool calls and 800 tokens of graph output per task.
  • Read the implementation and its tests before changing code. The graph narrows scope; it does not replace the source.

build-graph

FreeSummary

Build or refresh a knowledge graph, a map of code relationships used for code review. Choose a full rebuild or an incremental update, then report the operation's status and summary.

  • Setting up the graph for a repository's first review
  • Refreshing the graph after switching branches
  • Updating review data after a large refactor

debug-issue

FreeSummary

Investigate bugs using a graph of code relationships. Find relevant functions, trace calls and execution paths, check recent changes, and assess what a proposed fix could affect before reading and changing the implementation.

  • Narrowing down code related to a bug
  • Tracing the execution path that triggers an issue
  • Checking whether recent changes caused a bug

refactor-safely

FreeSummary

Plan refactoring with dependency analysis, which shows how code parts rely on each other. Find candidates and unreferenced code, preview and apply renames, and compare the resulting impact with the original plan.

  • Finding refactoring candidates and unreferenced code
  • Previewing edits before applying a rename
  • Checking affected dependencies and execution paths

review-changes

FreeSummary

Review code changes using a knowledge graph, a map of code relationships, to assess risk and affected behavior. Organize findings by severity, identify missing tests, suggest fixes, and provide a merge recommendation.

  • Prioritizing review findings by risk
  • Checking how changed functions affect other code
  • Identifying missing tests and proposing test cases

review-delta

FreeSummary

Review code changes against the previous commit and identify affected files and functions. Use dependency relationships to assess risk, check missing tests, and produce a focused report with issues and recommendations.

  • Reviewing changes against the previous commit
  • Checking how a change affects other functions
  • Finding missing tests for high-risk changes

review-pr

FreeSummary

Review all changes in a pull request or branch against its base branch. Use a knowledge graph, a map of code relationships, to report affected files and functions, test coverage, API compatibility issues, and recommended actions.

  • Reviewing all commits in a pull request
  • Checking a branch's changes against its base
  • Finding callers missed by public API changes
