Getting started

Welcome to ctx|

What ctx| is and how documentation maps to the product.

ctx| (ctxpipe) is infrastructure that helps coding agents understand your codebase, standards, and how work happens in your organisation. Git remains the source of truth; ctx| indexes repositories, builds a knowledge graph, and exposes that context to agents through a single MCP surface.

What you can do here

  • Connect code — Register repositories (URL or GitHub App flow). The system clones, indexes with Zoekt-backed search, and runs extraction workflows over your tree.
  • Talk to agents — Point Cursor, Claude Code, or any MCP client at your org’s /mcp endpoint. The primary tool is ctx_advisor, which runs a LangGraph conversation grounded in your org’s graph and instruction hierarchy (AGENTS.md, skills, ADRs where present).
  • Run it yourself — The stack is open source (ELv2). Deploy with Docker Compose or your own hosting; see Self hosting.
