I want to build an MCP that helps AI coding agents understand a project better, remember previous work, find relevant code, and make changes without breaking existing functionality.

Elevator pitch An MCP server that gives AI coding agents project understanding, persistent memory, relevant code search, and safer change-making.

Industry Developer Tools / AI-Assisted Software Engineering

Problem

  • Coding agents lose context between sessions and re-learn the same codebase.
  • Changes often break unrelated functionality because agents can't see dependencies.

Solution

  • Indexes the project and recalls prior work, decisions, and conventions for each session.
  • Surfaces related code and impact checks before any edit is made.

Tools (3–5 bullets — MCP tool concepts, not code)

  • project_overview: Takes a repo path; returns structure, modules, and key entry points.
  • recall_work_log: Takes a topic; returns past changes, decisions, and open items.
  • find_relevant_code: Takes a natural-language query; returns ranked symbols and file locations.
  • impact_check: Takes a proposed change; returns affected callers, tests, and risk notes.

Widgets (1–2 bullets, or "None — headless server")

  • /dependency-map: Interactive graph showing modules and the dependencies a change would touch.

Conversation starters (exactly 2 short user prompts)

  • "Give me an overview of this repo and where authentication lives."
  • "What would break if I change the billing invoice schema?"
