codebase_flow

MCP tool from SocratiCode by giancarloerra

Trace forward execution flow from an entry point. Call with no args to discover entry points (orphans, main(), framework routes, tests)

How to use it

codebase_flow is exposed by the SocratiCode MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), and the codebase_flow tool becomes available to the model automatically. See the full listing for setup details and every tool this server provides.

Install SocratiCode

$claude mcp add socraticode -- npx -y socraticode

Other tools in SocratiCode (25)

codebase_about

Display info about SocratiCode

codebase_context

List all context artifacts defined in .socraticodecontextartifacts.json with names, descriptions, and index status

codebase_context_index

Index or re-index all artifacts from .socraticodecontextartifacts.json

codebase_context_remove

Remove all indexed context artifacts for a project (blocked while indexing is in progress)

codebase_context_search

Semantic search across context artifacts (auto-indexes on first use, auto-detects staleness)

codebase_graph_build

Build a polyglot dependency graph (runs in background — poll with codebasegraphstatus)

codebase_graph_circular

Detect circular dependencies

codebase_graph_query

Query imports and dependents for a specific file

codebase_graph_remove

Remove a project's persisted code graph (waits for in-flight graph build to finish first)

codebase_graph_stats

Get graph statistics (most connected files, orphans, language breakdown)

codebase_graph_status

Check graph build progress or persisted graph metadata

codebase_graph_visualize

Generate a Mermaid diagram (mode=mermaid, default) or an interactive HTML explorer (mode=interactive) of the dependency graph. Interactive mode writes a self-contained page (vendored Cytoscape.js + Dagre, works offline) and opens it in your default browser — file + symbol views, blast-radius overlay

codebase_health

Check Docker, Qdrant, and embedding provider status

codebase_impact

Blast radius — what files break if you change file/function X (BFS through reverse-call edges)

codebase_index

Start indexing a codebase in the background (poll codebasestatus for progress)

codebase_list_projects

List all indexed projects with paths and metadata

codebase_remove

Remove a project's index (safely stops watcher, cancels in-flight indexing/update, waits for graph build)

codebase_search

Hybrid semantic + keyword search (dense + BM25, RRF-fused) with optional file path, language filters, and cross-project search (includeLinked)

codebase_status

Check index status and chunk count

codebase_stop

Gracefully stop an in-progress indexing operation (current batch finishes and checkpoints; resume with codebaseindex)

codebase_symbol

360° view of one symbol — its definition, callers, and callees

codebase_symbols

List symbols in a file or search by name across the project

codebase_update

Incremental update — only re-indexes changed files

codebase_watch

Start/stop file watching — on start, catches up missed changes then watches for future ones

Offline-safe

Cytoscape.js + Dagre are vendored inside the SocratiCode package. No CDN, no network, works in air-gapped environments.
