Constellation FAQs

Question 1

Which AI coding assistants can integrate with Constellation?

Accepted Answer

Constellation integrates seamlessly with a variety of popular AI coding assistants, including VS Code, Cursor, Claude Code, and others that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Question 2

What is Constellation and how does it benefit AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Constellation provides AI coding assistants with instant, intelligent access to your entire codebase's structure, dependencies, and relationships. It delivers 'code intelligence as a service,' enabling AI to understand your project deeply without ever seeing your raw source code.

Question 3

What is a code knowledge graph and why is it important for AI?

Accepted Answer

A code knowledge graph is a structured representation of your codebase's metadata, showing relationships and dependencies. For AI, it means instant, intelligent query responses, enabling assistants to provide more accurate suggestions, refactorings, and explanations based on your entire project context.

Question 4

What kind of information does Constellation extract from my codebase?

Accepted Answer

The Constellation CLI analyzes your source code locally to extract structural metadata such as functions, classes, variables, imports, calls, and references. This metadata is then used to build an intelligent knowledge graph.

Question 5

How does Constellation ensure my source code remains private?

Accepted Answer

Constellation is designed for privacy. It only extracts and uploads structural metadata about your code (functions, classes, dependencies, etc.) to its knowledge graph, never transmitting your actual source code. It also uses API keys and branch isolation for security.
