CodeXRay FAQs

Question 1

What is CodeXRay?

Accepted Answer

CodeXRay is a semantic knowledge graph and a suite of 16 development tools designed to optimize AI coding agents. It helps reduce token usage, accelerate code analysis, and provides deep insights into your codebase.

Question 2

How does CodeXRay save tokens for AI agents?

Accepted Answer

CodeXRay replaces multiple file reads and 'grep' commands with a single, relevant `codexray_context` query to a pre-built knowledge graph. This significantly reduces tool calls and tokens needed for AI agents to find relevant code, often by 80% or more.

Question 3

Is CodeXRay easy to set up and use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it features zero-config installation with `npx codexray`. It automatically configures the MCP server, sets up git hooks for auto-sync, and indexes your project, making it ready for use with tools like Claude Code instantly.

Question 4

What kind of code analysis features does CodeXRay offer?

Accepted Answer

It provides comprehensive analysis tools including dead code detection, hotspot analysis, blast radius analysis, circular dependency detection, complexity analysis, call graph exploration, and meaning-based semantic search (TF-IDF).

Question 5

Is CodeXRay private and does it require API keys?

Accepted Answer

CodeXRay is 100% local and private. It operates entirely on your machine, requires no external models or API keys, and ensures your code never leaves your development environment.
