Synaptic Code Intelligence MCP Server
Synaptic is a source-grounded code maintenance platform built around three connected systems: API maintenance, repository memory, and a persistent knowledge graph. Together they let an engineer or AI assistant understand what the code does, remember what has happened to it, and make bounded repairs without guessing. It is available as a remote MCP endpoint.
Teams that work with call graph, code analysis and claude skills and want a hosted endpoint instead of running a local process. The project is written in Rust.
