What is the Sverklo MCP Server?

Local-first repo-memory MCP for coding agents. Best for relationship-heavy edits: symbols, callers, dependencies, diff review, and git-pinned decisions before code

The short version

Sverklo gives coding agents repo memory: symbols, callers, diffs, blast radius, and git-pinned decisions before they edit. It is an open-source local-first MCP server for Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Codex CLI, and any MCP-speaking coding agent.

Recorded tools

Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.

Tool	What it does
search	Hybrid BM25 + vector + PageRank search. Find code without knowing the literal string.
refs	All references to a symbol, with caller context. Flags likely dead-code candidates from the current reference graph.
impact	Walk the symbol graph, return ranked transitive callers — the real blast radius.
review_diff	Risk-scored review of git diff: touched-symbol importance x coverage x churn.
