Ckb
Give your coding agent deep codebase navigation, impact analysis, and architecture queries without hand-rolling repo scripts.

What is this MCP server?
- 80+ MCP tools for navigation, impact analysis, and architecture
- stdio npm package @tastehub/ckb (run with mcp subcommand)
- Version 8.0.3 from SimplyLiz CodeMCP repository
- Designed for agents that need graph-style code intelligence beyond ripgrep
- 80+ MCP tools (per server description)
- Package version 8.0.3, stdio transport via @tastehub/ckb

What problem does it solve?
Agents burn context and make risky edits when they cannot reliably map symbols, dependencies, and blast radius in a real codebase.
Who is it for?
Solo builders running Claude Code or Cursor on a non-trivial repo who want MCP-native navigation and impact tools.
Skip if: Greenfield hello-world repos where opening two files is faster than configuring another MCP server.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent can query structured code intelligence so refactors and feature work target the right files and dependencies.
- Agent-driven navigation and impact reports across the codebase
- Faster, safer multi-file change plans grounded in repo structure
Recommended MCP Servers
Journey fit
Lives in Build because the value appears while you are actively extending or refactoring a product with an agent at the keyboard. Agent-tooling is the right shelf for an MCP that augments Claude Code or Cursor with 80+ code-intelligence tools local to the repo.
How it compares
Local code-intelligence MCP with 80+ tools, not a hosted Git hosting or CI integration.
Common Questions / FAQ
Who is ckb for?
Developers and indie founders who want their agent to navigate and analyze an existing codebase through MCP instead of manual search only.
When should I use ckb?
Use it during active build work—refactors, cross-module features, or architecture questions—when you need impact and structure answers from the repo itself.
How do I add ckb to my agent?
Install @tastehub/ckb from npm, configure your MCP client to run the mcp subcommand over stdio, then restart the agent so the 80+ tools register.
