Code Review Graph is a local-first code intelligence graph for MCP and CLI that cuts AI coding tool context by mapping only what matters.

Key features

  • Persistent Repo Graph: Builds and maintains a graph of the codebase's symbols, references, and structure so lookups are instant on subsequent runs.
  • MCP Server Integration: Exposes the graph as an MCP server so Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible agents can query it directly.
  • CLI Access: A first-class command-line interface lets developers query the graph without an agent in the loop.
  • Task-Scoped Context Slices: Instead of loading whole files, returns only the pieces of code an AI tool needs — with benchmarked context reductions.
  • Local-First Privacy: All indexing and serving runs on the developer's machine, so source code never leaves the environment.
  • PyPI Distribution: Installs with a single `pip install code-review-graph` and works on any Python 3.10+ setup.

Best for

  • Cheaper AI Code Reviews: Feed only the relevant slices of a change to a review agent so token spend on large PRs stays low.
  • Large Monorepo Workflows: Give coding agents targeted context in repos too big to fit into any model's window.
  • MCP-Compatible Agent Enhancement: Plug into Claude Code or Cursor as an MCP server to add repo-aware retrieval.
  • Local Refactor Planning: Use the CLI to explore dependencies and impact before making cross-cutting changes.
  • Air-Gapped Codebases: Keep proprietary source local while still using AI tools that consume the graph rather than raw files.
  • Onboarding Assistance: Help new engineers navigate a large codebase by querying the graph for related symbols and callers.

Trama

Trama

Freemium

A macOS app that turns a plain-English description of a repetitive task into a native background automation, with no code or diagrams.

Key features

  • Plain-Language Automation Builder: Press Cmd+Option+X from any app, describe the task in ordinary English, and Trama assembles the steps for you — no syntax, drag-and-drop or diagram builder involved.
  • Reviewable Steps Before Activation: Trama shows every step it built and explains each decision, so nothing runs until you read it and switch it on; any automation can be disabled instantly from the menu bar.
  • Native Mac Reach: Automations can drive AppleScript, shell scripts, OCR and screen awareness on the local machine, giving it capabilities cloud-based automation platforms cannot reach.
  • Multiple Trigger Types: Fire automations from the clipboard, a screenshot, a schedule or a custom keyboard shortcut — for example OCR-ing every receipt screenshot into an expense spreadsheet.
  • Self-Diagnosing Failures: When an automation breaks, the AI reads the error, explains it in plain English and offers a one-click fix, so you never need to debug the automation yourself.
  • Pattern Suggestions: Trama observes what you copy, open and repeat, and after a few occurrences surfaces a suggested automation you had not thought to build.
  • Bring Your Own AI Key: Use Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini or Groq credentials so inference calls go directly from your Mac to your provider with no middleman, or let Trama handle it by default.
  • Broad Integration Catalog: Connect Gmail, Google Calendar, Sheets and Drive, Slack, Notion, GitHub, Linear, Jira, Airtable, Telegram, Discord, Apple Notes and Reminders, or any HTTP endpoint from one Integrations panel.

Best for

  • Morning Briefing: At a set time each morning, summarise unread email, highlight the day's calendar and post the digest to a team Slack channel automatically.
  • Screenshot Data Extraction: OCR every receipt or error screenshot you take, parse the amount and merchant, and append a row to a Google Sheet or place the explanation in your clipboard.
  • Weekly Status Reports: Pull completed tasks from Linear or Jira every Friday afternoon, draft the update and post it to the team channel without touching it.
  • Competitor Research Capture: When you copy a competitor's product URL, have Trama read the page, write a short bulleted analysis and file it as a Notion entry.
  • Pull Request Summaries: Copy a GitHub link and get a three-bullet summary of the PR back on your clipboard within seconds.
  • Clipboard Rewriting: Bind a shortcut that turns whatever you copied into a cleanly structured Slack message or outline, ready to paste.
