Install

Add this to your client's MCP configuration (Claude Desktop: claude_desktop_config.json; Cursor: .cursor/mcp.json; VS Code and others use the same "mcpServers" shape).

PYPI package silex-archaeology
Claude Code 
claude mcp add silex -- uvx silex-archaeology==0.11.38
JSON configuration (Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) 
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "silex": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": [
                "silex-archaeology==0.11.38"
            ]
        }

Silex — evidence-based code archaeology

Understand the codebase before changing the code.

Silex reconstructs architecture, dependencies, workflows and business rules from your source code — and serves that understanding to your AI coding agents via MCP. Every claim is anchored to file:line with a verified quote. What Silex can't prove, it tells you.

Local-first. Your code never leaves your machine. No account, no card, no telemetry.

Install (free tier)

# Python 3.10+
pip install silex-archaeology

Until the PyPI release lands you can install the wheel from Releases: pip install https://github.com/silex-tec/silex/releases/latest/download/silex_archaeology-py3-none-any.whl

Connect it to your MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, Windsurf, Cline, Continue, Zed) — stdio config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "silex": { "command": "silex-mcp-server", "args": ["serve", "--stdio"] }
  }
}

Try it on a real codebase

Clone Microsoft's eShop (MIT) and point a scan at it — the Concepts page shows the community graph, the recovered order state machine and anchored findings from that exact scan, so you can compare your output against a published reference.

What you get (free)

  • Local MCP server, full codebase scan (C#, JS/TS, Java, PHP, COBOL, VB…)
  • Community map — the real shape of the system, vendor/generated classified out of the way by default
  • Evidence anchored to file:line, confidence with provenance
  • Unknown-territory detection: what can't be proven is flagged, not guessed
  • Shareable evidence report
  • Works with the AI seat you already pay for

Pro tier (team workspaces, deep architecture visualization, refactoring trust contracts): coming soon — join the waitlist.
