codetopo v0.2.0 — release notes
First release. v0.2.0 ships Phase 1 (engine + CLI), Phase 2 (API + MCP), and Phase 3 (ACP agent) together.
v0.2.0 — See your codebase the way an agent sees it
codetopo is a pure, domain-blind code-visualization engine written in Rust. It parses source code with tree-sitter extractors, builds a queryable model of the codebase (symbols, relationships, structure), and serves it headless — through a CLI, an HTTP API, an MCP server, and an ACP agent — so both humans and AI agents can explore code structurally instead of grepping through it.
What's in this release
Phase 1 — Engine + CLI
- codetopo-core: workspace model — the codebase as a queryable graph of nodes and edges
- codetopo-extract: tree-sitter extractors that turn source files into the core model
- codetopo-store: SQLite-backed store with a hash-chained audit log, so every write is tamper-evident
- codetopo (CLI): headless commands to
indexa codebase and query it —descendants,ancestors,path,snapshot— built for scripts, CI, and agent tooling
Phase 2 — API + MCP
- codetopo-server: axum HTTP API, 8 endpoints under
/v1, Bearer-token auth, JSONL usage metering - codetopo-mcp: stdio MCP server exposing the engine as 8 tools, so any MCP-capable agent can query a codebase directly
- schemas/: OpenAPI 3.1 (
openapi.yaml) and MCP tool definitions (mcp-tools.json) for the full surface
Phase 3 — ACP agent
- codetopo-acp: stdio agent speaking the Agent Client Protocol — conversational sessions (
initialize→session/new→session/prompt) for editors and clients that talk to agents instead of calling tools - Deterministic intent routing (descendants / ancestors / blast-radius / path / stats / snapshot / verify) to the same core queries — no LLM, no network, no file writes; edit requests get an honest read-only refusal
Install
From crates.io is not wired up yet — install from the repo:
cargo install --git https://github.com/nrupala/codetopoThis builds four binaries:
| Binary | What it does |
|---|---|
codetopo |
Headless CLI — index a codebase, query descendants/ancestors/paths, take snapshots |
codetopo-server |
HTTP API server (/v1, Bearer auth, JSONL metering) |
codetopo-mcp |
stdio MCP server — 8 tools for agent code exploration |
codetopo-acp |
stdio ACP agent — conversational code-structure sessions for editors |
Build from source instead:
git clone https://github.com/nrupala/codetopo
cd codetopo
cargo build --release
# binaries land in target/release/Requires a Rust toolchain (stable) and a C compiler (tree-sitter grammars). No runtime dependencies — one static-ish binary each.
