🦡 codebadger is a containerized Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives AI agents and LLMs deep, queryable access to a codebase's structure and data flow through Joern Code Property Graphs (CPGs).

Ask Claude to identify data flow paths between two functions in your codebase.
Generate a dependency map showing how your microservices connect and share data.
Find security vulnerabilities by analyzing control flow through authentication code.
