🧠 Cortex Enterprise - The Deterministic Project Brain

Stop AI hallucinations. Give your AI the exact code it needs, not the whole project.

Cortex is a local-first, high-performance code intelligence platform that scans your codebase, builds a dependency graph, and provides verified context for AI agents (like Claude, GPT, or Cursor) with zero hallucinations.

🚀 Why Cortex Enterprise?

• ⚡ Blazing Fast: Powered by native SQLite (better-sqlite3), search results in <10ms.
• 🛡️ Zero Hallucinations: Verify any symbol (function, class, file) before AI uses it. If it's not in the graph, it's not real.
• 💥 Blast Radius: Before modifying a function, see exactly which other files will break.
• 🕸️ Interactive Dependency Map: A visual graph of your entire codebase.
• 🐍 Multi-Language Support: Powered by tree-sitter for accurate AST parsing of JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python.
• 🕵️ Dead Code & Security Audits: Detect unused code and heuristic security vulnerabilities.
• 📦 AI Context Exporter: Export perfectly formatted Markdown code blocks to paste directly into Claude or ChatGPT.
• 🔌 Native MCP Support: Connects directly to Claude Desktop and Cursor as an MCP server.
• 🔒 Local-First: Your code never leaves your machine.

📦 Installation

npm install -g @almosawy/cortex-brain
🎯 Quick Start
Go to your project directory:

bash
cd /path/to/your/project
Scan your codebase (builds the AST graph):

bash
cortex scan
Start the Enterprise Dashboard:

bash
cortex serve
Open your browser at http://localhost:3000.

🛠️ CLI Commands
cortex scan - Build the AST graph, dependency edges, and call graph.

cortex serve - Start the Cortex Enterprise Dashboard (API + UI).

cortex ask "<query>" - Search the codebase from terminal.

cortex verify <type> <name> [file] - Verify if a symbol exists.

cortex context - Generate AI context (Markdown) for the project.

cortex mcp - Start the MCP server for Claude Desktop / Cursor integration.

🔌 MCP Integration (Claude Desktop / Cursor)
Add this to your claude_desktop_config.json or Cursor MCP settings:

json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "cortex": {
      "command": "cortex",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}
🏗️ Architecture
Scanner: Uses tree-sitter to parse JavaScript/TypeScript/Python into a precise AST.

Graph: Stores nodes (functions, classes, files), edges (imports, defines), and call-graphs in SQLite.

Server: Express.js with Helmet, CORS, Rate Limiting, and Zod validation.

UI: Enterprise dashboard with Dependency Map (D3.js/Canvas), Syntax Highlighting, and Impact Analysis.
