`codebase-memory-mcp` says stop telling agents to "read that file."
Story
A widely-shared thread is pushing DeusData's codebase-memory-mcp, which indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph (158 languages, sub-ms queries, ~99% fewer tokens, the 28M-LOC Linux kernel in ~3 minutes on an M3 Pro). For Claude Code it installs a PreToolUse hook that intercepts Grep/Glob and injects structured context. A concrete instance of the code-comprehension layer becoming standard, alongside oraios/serena, graphify, and zilliztech/claude-context.
