Upstream attribution

This repository is a modified fork of DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp.

Original project

The original project is authored and maintained upstream by DeusData. GitHub records this repository as a fork of DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp, and the upstream MIT copyright is preserved verbatim in LICENSE:

Copyright (c) 2025 DeusData

The upstream project is the source of the original architecture and substantial implementation represented in this fork, including the code-intelligence engine, tree-sitter parsing/extraction system, persistent graph/index model, storage pipeline, daemon/watcher/runtime foundation, broad language support, query capabilities, and other functionality inherited through the fork.

This repository does not claim that those systems were independently designed or implemented by Nathan Gallo / ngallodev.

What this fork changes

The fork exists to change the supported product boundary from an MCP-server integration to a CLI-first local tool. Fork-specific changes include work in areas such as:

  • removing the supported MCP server and third-party MCP integration surface;
  • making codebase-memory-cli the supported product entry point;
  • exposing agent/script-oriented CLI and stable JSON workflows;
  • separating CLI-owned skills/hooks from MCP registration behavior;
  • adapting installation and integration behavior for restricted environments;
  • tightening selected security/authorization behavior around the CLI-first use case;
  • qualification, compatibility, and benchmark work for the modified fork.

These modifications can be substantial without changing the provenance of the underlying product: Codebase Memory CLI remains a derivative fork of DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp.

License and third-party work

The root LICENSE preserves the upstream MIT license and DeusData copyright. THIRD_PARTY.md documents additional vendored and referenced third-party components inherited by or used within the codebase.

When describing this project publicly, use wording such as:

Codebase Memory CLI is a modified CLI-first fork of DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp. DeusData authored the upstream code-intelligence engine and architecture; this fork removes the supported MCP server/integration surface and adapts the project for CLI-first use in restricted environments.

Do not describe the repository as a from-scratch implementation or imply original authorship of the upstream engine or architecture.
