Skeletongraph MCP Server
Coding agents burn tokens reading whole files to find one function. SkeletonGraph indexes your repo with tree-sitter - no LLM - and hands the agent the exact function to edit, over MCP. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
People connecting coding agent tools to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.

before you install - you'll need
The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install.
Claude Code
claude mcp add yashdoke7-skeletongraph -- uvx skeletongraph Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config
{
"mcpServers": {
"yashdoke7-skeletongraph": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": [
"skeletongraph"
]
}
}
} Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

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 skeletongraph - check the name against the project README before installing (PyPI has no namespace ownership)
registry namespace io.github.yashdoke7 is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner

06 · Skeletongraph FAQ
What is Skeletongraph?
Coding agents burn tokens reading whole files to find one function. SkeletonGraph indexes your repo with tree-sitter - no LLM - and hands the agent the exact function to edit, over MCP. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.
Is Skeletongraph still maintained?
Yes - as of 2026-08-25, its last commit was 2026-08-20 and it shipped 1 release in the last 90 days. We re-verify nightly.
How do I install Skeletongraph?
Run `uvx skeletongraph`. The README does not document required environment variables for a basic install. You can also paste the ready-made client config above.
Does Skeletongraph run locally?
Yes - it's a stdio server: it runs on your machine (via uvx) with your user's permissions. Your data stays local unless the server itself calls external APIs.
