Graphlens MCP
A free, MIT-licensed MCP server that gives coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, and compatible clients) a semantic code graph of your project - symbols, cross-file calls, references, imports and cross-language boundaries. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting memory tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Jupyter Notebook.

01 · Install Graphlens MCP
Claude Code
claude mcp add neko1313-graphlens-mcp -- uvx graphlens-mcp Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"neko1313-graphlens-mcp": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"graphlens-mcp"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

02 · Evidence
Security posture
What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.
runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions
license MIT - declared in the repository
pypi package graphlens-mcp - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.Neko1313 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
