Installation

1. Run the installer

npx @colbymchenry/codegraph

The installer will:

• Ask which agent(s) to configure — auto-detecting installed ones from Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, opencode, Hermes Agent, Gemini CLI, Antigravity IDE, and Kiro.
• Prompt to install codegraph on your PATH (so agents can launch the MCP server).
• Ask whether configs apply to all your projects or just this one.
• Write each chosen agent’s MCP server config, plus a small marker-fenced CodeGraph section in the agent’s instructions file (CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / GEMINI.md). Cursor and Kiro get the MCP config only. Removed cleanly by codegraph uninstall.
• Set up auto-allow permissions when Claude Code is one of the targets.

The installer wires up your agents only — it does not index your code. After it finishes, build each project’s graph yourself with codegraph init (step 3 below).

Non-interactive (scripting / CI)

codegraph install --yes                              # auto-detect agents, install global
codegraph install --target=cursor,claude --yes       # explicit target list
codegraph install --target=auto --location=local     # detected agents, project-local
codegraph install --print-config codex               # print snippet, no file writes

Flag	Values	Default
--target	auto, all, none, or csv (claude,cursor,…)	prompt
--location	global, local	prompt
--yes	(boolean)	prompt every step
--no-permissions	(boolean) skip Claude auto-allow list	permissions on
--print-config <id>	dump snippet for one agent and exit	—

2. Restart your agent

Restart your agent (Claude Code / Cursor / Codex CLI / opencode / Hermes Agent / Gemini CLI / Antigravity IDE / Kiro) for the MCP server to load.

3. Initialize projects

cd your-project
codegraph init

codegraph init creates the local .codegraph/ directory and builds the full graph in the same step — one command. A single global codegraph install covers every project; you run codegraph init once per project.

Supported platforms

Every release ships a self-contained build (bundled Node runtime — nothing to compile) for all three desktop OSes, on both x64 and arm64:

Platform	Architectures	Install
Windows	x64, arm64	PowerShell installer or npm
macOS	x64, arm64	shell installer or npm
Linux	x64, arm64	shell installer or npm

Uninstall

Changed your mind? One command removes CodeGraph from every agent it configured:

codegraph uninstall

This reverses the installer — stripping CodeGraph’s MCP server config, instructions, and permissions from each configured agent. Your project indexes (.codegraph/) are left untouched; remove those per-project with codegraph uninit. Use --target to remove from specific agents, or --yes to run non-interactively.
