kai-mcp

MCP server for Kai — semantic code intelligence for AI coding assistants.

Quick Install

claude mcp add kai -- npx -y kai-mcp

What It Does

Gives your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) access to Kai's semantic graph — call graphs, dependency maps, impact analysis, and test coverage — via the Model Context Protocol.

Setup

Claude Code

claude mcp add kai -- npx -y kai-mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "kai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "kai-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Generic stdio

npx -y kai-mcp

Tools

| Tool | Description | |------|-------------| | kai_symbols | List symbols in a file (functions, classes, methods) | | kai_callers | Find all callers of a symbol | | kai_callees | Find all symbols called by a symbol | | kai_dependents | Find files that depend on a file | | kai_dependencies | Find files a file depends on | | kai_tests | Find tests covering a file | | kai_diff | Semantic diff between two refs | | kai_context | Bundled context for a file/symbol | | kai_impact | Transitive downstream impact analysis | | kai_files | List files in the repo with language/module filters | | kai_status | Check graph freshness | | kai_refresh | Re-capture the semantic graph |

No setup required — the server lazily initializes the Kai semantic graph on first use.
