ALLIGATOR Code Context Engine

Give coding agents what, where, and why — not just more tokens. Hybrid search, dependency graphs, and commit intelligence over your repos, served to Cursor, Claude Desktop, and friends via MCP.

Self-hosted data

Context agents can actually use.

Built for large, real codebases — not toy demos. Index once, query from any MCP client.

Hybrid Code Search

Dense embeddings plus BM25 keyword search, fused for conceptual questions and exact symbol hits. Semantic when you need meaning; precise when you need a name.

Dependency Impact

Graph traversal over callers, callees, and imports. Ask what breaks if you change a function — get a structured answer, not a guess.

Temporal Intelligence

Commit history is first-class. Optional LLM summaries turn “who changed this” into “why it looks like this now” for agent investigations.

Incremental Indexing

Merkle-tree change detection and real-time file watching. Re-index what moved, not the whole monorepo, every time.

MCP for Agents

Native tools for Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, and any MCP host: search, investigate, list entities, pull source, inspect index health.

Self-Hosted Stack

Qdrant + ArangoDB + Redis under your control. Your indexes stay on your infrastructure. Bring your own embedding and LLM providers.


From git repo to agent-ready context.

01
Index

Point Alligator at a repository. Tree-sitter parsing, hybrid vectors, and raw commit history land in your local stack. Multi-repo and workspace scoping included.

TREE-SITTER · QDRANT · ARANGO
02
Enrich

Optionally summarize commits and embed history so agents can reason about intent, not only the latest snapshot of the code.

LLM SUMMARIES · COMMIT GRAPH
03
Serve

Run the MCP server over stdio or HTTP. Wire it into Cursor or Claude Desktop in a few lines of config. Agents call tools with repo or workspace scope.

FASTMCP · STDIO / HTTP
04
Investigate

Agents search, walk dependencies, and pull commit context in one flow. Better answers. Fewer hallucinated “I think this file…” moments.

Be first when Alligator goes public.

Open source under Apache 2.0. Join the list for launch notes, install guides, and early builds.

What you get at launch

A self-hosted code context engine you can run beside your AI IDE — not another SaaS that needs your monorepo in the cloud.
