About
Enables parsing, indexing, and querying source code as structured knowledge, providing code exploration, spec generation, and migration tools via 20 MCP tools.
README
Reusable data layer for codebase understanding. Parses source code into structured knowledge, indexes it for search, and serves it via MCP.
Can be used standalone by human developers or consumed by uni-dev agent system.

Phase 1: Parser Extension System
Goal: Abstract plugin interface + registry + Java parser
1.1 Base Plugin Interface (parsers/base.py)
class ParserPlugin(ABC):
@abstractmethod
def language(self) -> str: ...
@abstractmethod
def detect(self, file_path: str) -> bool: ...
@abstractmethod
def parse(self, file_path: str, source: str) -> ParseResult: ...
1.2 Plugin Registry (parsers/registry.py)
Discovers plugins via Python entry points (pyproject.toml [project.entry-points."uni_kb.parsers"]). Loads on demand.
1.3 Java Parser (parsers/java/)
Four sub-parsers using tree-sitter-java:
| Parser | Target | Extracts |
|---|---|---|
controller.py |
@RestController, @RequestMapping |
Endpoints, HTTP methods, paths, params, response types |
service.py |
@Service, method bodies |
Business logic structure, dependencies |
entity.py |
@Entity, @Column, @Table |
Entities, fields, types, constraints, relationships |
mapper.py |
MyBatis XML | Custom SQL queries, result maps |
Output: ParseResult with standardized JSON matching SQLite schema.
Phase 2: Storage Layer
2.1 SQLite Store (store/sqlite_store.py)
8 tables initialized on uni-kb init --project ./:
| Table | Purpose |
|---|---|
modules |
Top-level source modules |
classes |
Classes / components |
methods |
Methods / functions |
api_endpoints |
REST endpoints |
db_tables |
Database tables |
db_columns |
Table columns |
frontend_components |
Vue/Cocos components |
auth_permissions |
Permission annotations |
2.2 ChromaDB Indexes (store/chroma_indexes.py)
14 named collections with embedded mode (persisted in .uni-kb/chroma/):
| # | Index | Content |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | code_java_controller |
Java controller source |
| 2 | code_java_service |
Java service source |
| 3 | code_java_entity |
Java entity source |
| 4 | code_java_mapper |
Mapper XML source |
| 5 | code_typescript_admin |
Vue admin source |
| 6 | code_typescript_game |
Cocos game source |
| 7 | specs_api |
Generated OpenAPI specs |
| 8 | specs_business_logic |
Generated method docs |
| 9 | specs_data_model |
Generated entity specs |
| 10 | specs_auth |
Permission matrix |
| 11 | specs_config |
Config catalog |
| 12 | db_schema |
Table DDL |
| 13 | project_docs |
Documentation |
| 14 | migration_checklists |
Per-module checklists |
2.3 Code Graph (store/code_graph.py)
NetworkX directed graph.
Nodes (8 types): Module, Class, Method, APIEndpoint, DBTable, DBColumn, VueComponent, CocosComponent
Edges (11 + 3 migration): HAS_METHOD, CALLS, INJECTS, IMPLEMENTS, EXTENDS, ROUTES_TO, MAPS_TO, FK_TO, API_CALLER, PERMITS, IMPORTS + MIGRATES_TO, BLOCKED_BY, VERIFIED_AGAINST
Phase 3: Node.js Parser
1.4 Node.js Parser (parsers/nodejs/)
Four sub-parsers using tree-sitter-typescript:
| Parser | Target | Extracts |
|---|---|---|
route.py |
Express router.get() / NestJS @Get() |
Endpoints, HTTP methods, paths, middleware chains |
service.py |
Service classes | Business logic structure |
model.py |
Sequelize / TypeORM models | Entities, fields, types, relationships |
middleware.py |
Auth middleware | Permission chains, guards |
Phase 4: Spec Generators + MCP
4.1 Generators (generators/)
6 generators, 4 exposed as direct MCP tools:
| Generator | Input | Output | MCP Tool |
|---|---|---|---|
api_contract.py |
Controller/Route AST | OpenAPI 3.0 YAML | get_api_contract |
business_logic.py |
Service AST | Markdown pseudo-code | get_business_logic_doc |
data_model.py |
Entity + DB schema | YAML model spec | → get_entity_spec |
auth_matrix.py |
Permission annotations | Permission matrix YAML | get_permission_matrix |
config_catalog.py |
YAML/.env files | Config catalog YAML | → get_config_value |
migration_checklist.py |
Module + dep graph | Prioritized checklist MD | get_migration_checklist |
4.2 MCP Server (mcp_server.py)
20 tools in 5 categories:
| Category | Tools |
|---|---|
| Code Exploration | search_code, get_method_body, get_class_structure, find_endpoints, find_usages |
| Spec Retrieval | get_api_contract, get_business_logic_doc, verify_contract, compare_api_responses |
| Data Model | get_entity_spec, get_db_schema, get_column_info, trace_fk_chain |
| Auth & Config | get_permission_matrix, get_config_value, get_config_catalog |
| Operations | get_migration_checklist, get_dependency_graph, get_migration_status, run_test_suite |
Dependencies
chromadb
networkx
