Synaptic Code Intelligence MCP Server
Give your coding assistant a map of the codebase, not a pile of files. Synaptic maps a repository once so you and your coding assistant do not have to rediscover it every session. Ask how a system works, what depends on a symbol, or what a change may break. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.
Teams that work with call graph, code analysis and claude skills and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Rust.
