lore_blame
Query blame, line-range history, or ownership aggregates with optional symbol targeting, commit-context enrichment, and risk signals
How to use it
lore_blame is exposed by the Lore MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the lore_blame tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Commits by author/email substring
Full/prefix SHA lookup (+files +refs)
Commits that touched a path
combines structural and semantic candidates; symbol filters apply to symbol candidates and doc filters apply to semantic doc-section candidates before final fused ranking.
optional indexed file language filter.
optional maximum rows for empty/browse symbol queries (default 20).
Rank directories by module cohesion (ratio of internal to external symbol references)
Find everything affected by changing a symbol or file — callers, importers, subclasses, and type references with automatic transitive traversal (up to 5 hops) in one call
Compare exported symbols between two indexed branches; returns added, removed, and changed symbols
Query call/import/inheritance/type-dependency edges with automatic transitive traversal (up to 5 hops); supports sourceid for outbound and targetid for inbound/reverse queries; materializes virtual dispatch edges for polymorphic call resolution
Query commit history by file, commit, author, ref, recency, or semantic commit-message similarity
Find symbols by name or files by path, including external dependency API symbols and LSP-resolved metadata when available
Aggregate index metrics
Structural BM25, semantic vector, or fused RRF search across symbols and doc sections
Return snippets from indexed source snapshots by file path + line range or by symbol name; path/symbol resolution is branch-aware and responses include containing-symbol context metadata (name, kind, start/end lines) when available
Detect structural anomalies — import cycles (Tarjan SCC), layering violations (Kahn toposort), and outlier couplings
Trace an execution path from an entry point and return an ordered call sequence with source code for each step
optional symbol-name matching mode (exact, prefix, contains); defaults to exact (case-insensitive).
optional rows to skip for empty/browse symbol queries (default 0).
optional indexed file-path prefix filter.
Newest commits
Commits matching branch/tag ref name
Conceptual commit-message search (falls back to recent when vectors are unavailable)
returns symbol hits only; applies pathprefix, language, and kind.
optional symbol kind filter (for example, function or class).
