agentmako

Overview

Agentmako is a local-first codebase intelligence engine that provides AI coding agents with typed MCP tools for understanding projects before editing. It indexes repositories, builds SQLite-backed facts, tracks diagnostics and review notes, and returns structured context packets instead of requiring agents to rediscover everything with raw grep. The project is actively maintained and offers both MCP server functionality and a local dashboard.
