Codesteward FAQs

Question 1

Which programming languages does Codesteward support?

Accepted Answer

Codesteward supports 14 programming languages through tree-sitter AST parsing, including TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Java, Go, Rust, PHP, C#, Kotlin, Scala, C, C++, and SQL context tagging. It also offers a lightweight regex-based parser for COBOL.

Question 2

What is Codesteward and its primary function?

Accepted Answer

Codesteward is a standalone Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that parses source code repositories into a structural graph. Its primary function is to expose this graph as queryable tools for AI agents and IDE extensions, enabling deep code understanding.

Question 3

Is Neo4j required to use Codesteward?

Accepted Answer

No, Codesteward can operate in a 'stub mode' without Neo4j, rebuilding the graph each session. However, Neo4j is recommended for persistent graph storage, allowing for long-term analysis and more complex queries.

Question 4

How do AI agents and IDEs interact with Codesteward?

Accepted Answer

Codesteward exposes queryable tools via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows AI agents (like Claude Code, Cursor) and IDE extensions to perform various analyses such as lexical, referential, semantic, and dependency querying on the code graph.

Question 5

What kind of code analysis can Codesteward perform?

Accepted Answer

Codesteward provides predefined query templates for comprehensive code analysis, including lexical (symbol definitions), referential (cross-references), semantic (meaning and relationships), and dependency analysis (module/package imports, data flow). It also allows for augmenting the graph with AI agent-inferred relationships.
