Why CodeCortex?
A coding agent can read code. The harder problem is deciding what matters, what is connected, what can break, and how much context is actually worth sending to the model.
CodeCortex turns a repository into a query-specific evidence system for coding agents:
- Repository + symbol intelligence — structure, definitions, references, dependencies, and call relationships.
- Evidence-aware retrieval — lexical, semantic, structural, graph, Git, architecture, and memory signals are ranked together.
- Impact before edits — reverse dependencies, affected tests, ownership, and change risk are inspectable before mutation.
- Guarded changes — semantic edits and structural rewrite previews keep source boundaries and review steps explicit.
- Persistent project context — architecture, history, project/team memory, traces, and multi-repo workspaces survive beyond one chat.
Core rule: retrieve evidence before generating confidence.
60-second start
Requires Python 3.11–3.13.
python -m pip install --upgrade codecortex-context-engine
cortex init .
cortex index
cortex doctorThen ask the repository useful questions:
cortex architecture
cortex semantic "authentication and session lifecycle"
cortex impact AuthServiceOr expose the repository to an MCP-capable coding agent:
cortex mcp --path .Works with coding agents
CodeCortex includes merge-safe project configuration for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, and OpenCode.
cortex agents detect
cortex agents configure --dry-run
# or configure every supported target explicitly:
cortex agents configure --allThe configurator only manages CodeCortex-owned MCP entries and keeps user-owned configuration intact.
