Repo analysis for coding agents with ranked files, dependency maps, and task-scoped context.
Cartograph MCP server exists for a simple reason — assistants are far more useful when they can act on Cartograph directly instead of describing what you should do. Repo analysis for coding agents with ranked files, dependency maps, and task-scoped context.
Cartograph is task-shaped repo context for coding agents. It ships a CLI, an MCP server, user-scope install adapters for Claude Code and OpenClaw, and packaged agent assets for documentation-heavy workflows.
Once Cartograph is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Providers — Set the API key with --key or CARTOGRAPH_API_KEY. Ollama does not require a keynpm on npm is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
You will need one environment variable: CARTOGRAPH_API_KEY. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Plenty of planning and project tracking servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Cartograph's toolset — Providers — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by anthony-maio; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
