Codebase Visualization
Let AI Understand, with lesser tokens.

Map your entire codebase into a structured node graph, visualize the architecture locally, and expose it via MCP to any AI coding assistant — keeping your prompt context hyper-efficient.

Codebase Indexing

Midown's CLI processes your workspace and natively indexes directory node-edges via AST and Semantic Summaries. Map your entire repository into an optimized graph structure instantly.

  • Deep semantic code parsing into AST nodes
  • Automatic structural map generation via 'midown push'
  • Hyper-compressed contexts stored locally for AI lookup
Terminal
~/project ❯ midown push

↳ Processing src/index.ts
↳ Processing src/components/App.tsx
↳ Processing src/utils/api.ts
↳ Processing src/storage/db.ts
✅ Indexed 142 files into the semantic graph cache.
Graph optimized: 2.4MB → 45KB for AI Context.

Local MCP Server

Start the background MCP server and expose your codebase structure directly to VS Code, Cursor, or Claude Desktop. It runs 100% locally on your machine—we never see or collect your data. The AI can surgically query dependencies instead of wasting tokens scanning your entire repo.

  • Local-only Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration
  • Zero data collection — your code stays on your machine
  • Works with free and open-source models via your IDE

Interactive Web Visualizer

Want to see what the AI sees? Run 'midown visualize' to launch a local web app that renders your system's topological node network. Navigate your complex architectures visually.

  • Web-based topological node network visualization
  • See how components and files connect locally
  • Understand your system's implicit relationships
