gortex install gave OpenCode 21 skills, 20 slash commands and an enforcement plugin — every one of which tells the model to reach for the Gortex tools — and registered no MCP server at that scope. The reasoning, written into the code, was that gortex init would put a server in each repo. A user who runs only the documented machine-wide step therefore got an OpenCode taught to ask for tools that were not mounted, and the sole symptom was the agent reporting a Gortex integration failure. Global mode now merges the same mcp.gortex entry into ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json, preferring an existing .jsonc for the reason the per-repo path already does: writing the sibling .json would leave two configs and register the server in the one OpenCode does not read. Project and user scope share one mutator so the two entries cannot drift. Inspect had the same blind spot from the other side — it hardcoded opencode.json and parsed it without stripping comments, so on a hand-authored config doctor reported no server on a machine that had one. It now resolves through the same helper the writer uses. The invariant is now a test: if global mode installs guidance, it installs the server that guidance depends on. Removing the fix fails four tests, one of which prints the user's exact situation — 21 skills, 20 commands, a plugin, no server.
High-performance and efficient code-intelligence engine for AI agents and IDE
Indexes code into graph and exposes it via CLI, MCP Server, and web UI. Multi-repository support by default.
Single static binary for macOS, Linux, and Windows — no dependency chain, simple installation and use.
High-quality parsing 257 languages/grammars through tree-sitter AST analysis, in-process resolvers, enhanced with compiler-grade resolution for Python, TypeScript / JavaScript, PHP, C#, Go, C, C++, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Zig, Rust, Ruby, Elixir, Ocaml, Haskell, and others - producing a persistent provenance-tiered knowledge graph of functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, and cross-service contracts and calls with a strong confidence model. 175 (configurable) MCP tools - use only what you need. Zero dependencies. Plug and play across 19 coding agents. Up to 50× fewer tokens per response. Reproducible benchmarks.
19 AI coding agents (Claude Code, Kiro, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code / Copilot, Continue.dev, Cline, OpenCode, Antigravity, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Zed, Aider, Kilo Code, OpenClaw, Hermes, Oh My Pi, Pi, Kimi) supported out of the box.
One install configures every one detected on your machine — see docs/agents.md.
Gortex Web UI — force-directed knowledge graph visualization
Why it matters
- 50× fewer tokens per response — graph-native lookups beat naive file reads. Agents read just what they need, not the full file, not the 500-line file around it.
- Full development cycle - no 'read file before edit'. Agents ask for sources, tell what to change, and don't waste context of reading noise.
- 257 languages/grammars - every file in the repository reachable; no mix of tools and bloating/hallycinating agents. Three tiers (bespoke tree-sitter, regex, forest-backed signatures) plus Jupyter and Databricks notebooks → docs/languages.md
- Cross-repo by default — N repos in one graph; contracts, references, and call chains span repo boundaries with evidence-gated resolution, contract matching, impact analysis, per-session isolation → docs/multi-repo.md
- Extreamly fast analysis — a precomputed depth-3 reach index turns blast-radius queries into O(seeds × reach) map lookups. Safe to ask "what breaks if I change this?" on every edit. No dozens of tool calls to grasp context.
- Zero external dependencies — single binary, everything in-process. No network, no model download to get started. Install, start daemon, use.
- Agent integrations (20) —
gortex initconfigures every detected coding assistant on the machine → docs/agents.md - 100+ MCP tools, 16 resources, 3 prompts — symbol lookup, call chains, blast radius, dataflow, clone detection, refactoring, code actions → docs/mcp.md
- Semantic search default-on — baked GloVe-50d (3.8 MB embedded), store-native FTS5/BM25 + vector with adaptive alpha fusion, zero deps; opt-in MiniLM / Ollama / OpenAI → docs/semantic-search.md
- Speculative execution —
preview_edit/simulate_chainanswer "what would change if I applied this WorkspaceEdit?" without touching disk - Live editor overlays — push unsaved buffers as a shadow graph; tools read through it. Branching for parallel speculative sessions
- GCX1 wire format — published, round-trippable. An additional −27% tokens vs JSON at same fidelity → docs/wire-format.md
- Long-living daemon — one process serves every IDE window; live fsnotify, an on-disk SQLite graph store, incremental restart, OS-supervised lifecycle
- 9 LLM providers (optional) — local llama.cpp, Anthropic, OpenAI, Ollama, Claude / Codex CLI subprocess, Gemini, Bedrock, DeepSeek → docs/llm.md
- Composable safety —
verify_change,check_guards,audit_agent_configflag broken callers, guard violations, stale docs before they ship - PR review, end to end —
gortex prstriages open PRs (per-PR blast radius, merge-order conflicts via shared communities, AI-ranked queue, reviewer suggestions);gortex reviewemits line-anchored findings with a BLOCK/REVIEW/APPROVE verdict from a graph-grounded rulepack; MCP tools (pr_risk,get_pr_impact,review,review_pack,post_review, …) expose it to agents → docs/cli.md - HTTP server + Web UI — versioned
/v1/*API + MCP 2026 Streamable HTTP; standalone Next.js 15 UI with five 3D graph modes → docs/server.md - Telemetry off by default — opt-in anonymous tool/command counts only (no code, paths, names, or exact counts); nothing transmitted unless you configure an endpoint.

Install
# macOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://get.gortex.dev | sh
# Windows (PowerShell)
irm https://get.gortex.dev/install.ps1 | iex
Detects OS/arch, verifies SHA256 + cosign, installs to PATH. Re-run to upgrade. Homebrew, .deb / .rpm / .apk, scoop, signed binaries, and from-source builds: docs/installation.md.
Quick Start
gortex install # one-time machine setup (MCP, skills, slash commands)
gortex daemon start --detach # background daemon
gortex track ~/projects/myapp # add a repo
cd ~/projects/myapp && gortex init # per-repo: .mcp.json, hooks, community routing
Your AI assistant now uses graph queries. Full 15-minute walkthrough: docs/onboarding.md.
Cross-Repo API Contracts
Gortex auto-detects API contracts across repos and matches providers to consumers, surfaced via the contracts MCP tool and the web UI Contracts page.
| Contract type | Detection | Provider | Consumer |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTTP routes | Framework annotations (gin, Express, FastAPI, Spring, …) | Route handler | HTTP client calls (fetch, http.Get) |
| gRPC | Proto service definitions | Service RPC | Client stub calls |
| GraphQL | Schema type/field definitions | Schema | Query/mutation strings |
| Message topics | Kafka / RabbitMQ / NATS / Redis pub/sub | Publish calls | Subscribe calls |
| WebSocket | Event emit/listen patterns | emit() |
on() |
| Env vars | os.Getenv, process.env, .env files |
Setenv / .env |
Getenv / process.env |
| OpenAPI | Swagger / OpenAPI spec files | Spec paths | (linked to HTTP routes) |
| Temporal workflows | Go / Java SDK annotations | Activity / workflow function | ExecuteActivity / ExecuteChildWorkflow |
Contracts are normalised to canonical IDs (e.g. http::GET::/api/users/{id}) and matched across repos to detect orphan providers / consumers and mismatches. See docs/contracts.md.
Scale — battle-tested on large repos
Measured on an Apple Silicon laptop with the default CGO build.
| Repository | Files | Nodes | Edges | Index time | Throughput | Peak heap |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| torvalds/linux | 70,333 | 1,690,174 | 6,239,570 | ~3 min | 300 files/s | 5.07 GB |
| microsoft/vscode | 10,762 | 204,501 | 808,902 | ~1 min | 143 files/s | 580 MB |
| zzet/gortex (self) | 430 | 5,583 | 53,830 | 3.4s | 127 files/s | 52 MB |
Parsing dominates wall time (65–80 %); reference resolution and search-index build scale sub-linearly.
