Gortex is a code intelligence platform designed to serve AI coding agents by indexing code repositories into an in-memory knowledge graph. Its primary function is to allow coding agents to query comprehensive project context through a single graph query, significantly reducing the number of file reads and token usage during tasks such as code editing, analysis, and review. Gortex supports interaction over MCP, HTTP, and a web user interface, and is compatible with 17 AI coding agents across macOS, Linux, and Windows, all provided as a single static binary with no external dependencies.
The tool indexes repositories across 257 programming languages using a multi-tier extraction approach that includes deep parsing with tree-sitter for major languages, regex for legacy formats, and signature-only extraction for others. It also accommodates user-defined grammars and can index Jupyter and Databricks notebooks at the cell level. Gortex integrates with over 100 MCP tools, offering a curated core set by default and the ability to expand to the full catalogue. Its knowledge graph encompasses a wide range of code elements, such as files, symbols, imports, calls, modules from various package ecosystems, SQL tables, Docker images, and more. Advanced graph algorithms like Tarjan SCC and Leiden/Louvain communities are used to enable rapid blast-radius queries.
Key features include semantic search combining BM25 and vector methods, live editor-buffer overlays for unsaved changes, speculative execution to preview the impact of edits, dataflow and taint analysis for security audits, clone detection via MinHash, structural and unsafe pattern scanning, and concurrency analysis. Gortex also provides diagnostics and code actions through integration with 16 language servers, proactive notifications over five channels, and a compact text serialization that reduces token usage compared to JSON.
Distribution is handled via a single static binary that runs entirely in-process and in memory on the user's machine, with no need for external services. Releases are sigstore-signed and built with SLSA Level 3 provenance. 0 license, making it open source.
In the RAG, search & retrieval space, Gortex takes a focused approach. It eliminates redundant file reads and inefficient context management for AI coding agents by providing a unified, queryable code knowledge graph. Gortex is an open-source project aimed at AI agent developers and advanced software engineers. Gortex is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. It runs on the command line, macOS, Windows, and Linux.
zzet builds and maintains Gortex, and it first shipped in 2026. Development happens publicly on GitHub with 794 stars and 2.1k commits in the last 90 days. Key capabilities include knowledge graph, live editor overlays, and speculative edits. It exposes integrations via an MCP server and a public API.
