Graphicle is a free, open-source (Apache-2.0) program that gives your coding agent a code graph of your repo and a memory of your project. Claude asks it first and gets cited excerpts: the exact files and lines.

Here's what it does, how to install it, what to ask Claude, and the catches.

What it does

  • Code graph: files, functions, classes, calls and imports, parsed with tree-sitter and no model.
  • Project memory: your docs (Markdown, PDF, Office, HTML), reviewed decisions and past Claude Code sessions, searchable next to the code.
  • Cited context: every excerpt names its file and lines, within a token budget.
  • One MCP server (graphicle mcp) that Claude Code connects to; memories an agent proposes wait for your approval.
  • Local: no account, no telemetry, nothing leaves your machine unless you ask.
