trace-mcp
MCP server for Claude Code and Codex. One tool call replaces ~42 minutes of agent exploration
- Trace execution path through unfamiliar codebase in seconds
- Identify root cause of bug across multiple files automatically
- Generate accurate dependency maps for legacy code modules
Reduces code exploration time from ~42 minutes to a single tool call, cutting agent iteration overhead and inference cost when debugging or understanding unfamiliar codebases.
Teams using Claude for code analysis, debugging, or refactoring who need fast codebase introspection without manual file navigation.
