Graphicle vs codebase-memory-mcp: two native code graphs for coding agents.
codebase-memory-mcp and Graphicle both give coding agents a code graph over MCP from a native program, with docs linked to the code and no API key. Graphicle also captures past agent sessions and keeps memories you approve.
