graperoot — Claude Code plugin: code context graph
Indexes your project into a call graph and a dependency graph, then hands Claude the files and symbols that matter before it starts digging.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install graperoot@claude-communityWhat graperoot does
graperoot maps functions, classes, imports and the calls between them. Ask a question and the graph returns the files and symbols closest to it, so Claude opens the right place first instead of walking the tree.
Two pieces ship with it. The MCP server mcp-graph-server exposes graph_continue, graph_scan, graph_read, graph_register_edit and fallback_rg. A skill named graph-context sets the retrieval order for Claude: reach for the graph tools first, and treat their confidence levels as a signal.
You need Python 3.10+ and Claude 1.0.33+. The package comes from pip install graperoot as compiled Cython binaries, so no source files are exposed. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C, C++, Ruby, PHP, Swift and Kotlin are covered, among others.
What it helps with
- locate the relevant files in an unfamiliar repository
- cut token spend on exploratory searching
- trace which callers depend on a given function
- point the agent at symbols tied to the current task
- record an edit so later queries see it
Example prompts for the agent
- Scan the project and list the files involved in payment handling
- Use the graph to find every caller of
parse_configand suggest a fix - Register my edit to
src/api/client.tsin the graph
