basemind-cli

Solid

Navigate codebases and manage caches via the basemind CLI — outlines, symbol search, reference/caller lookups, git history, blame, and diffs. For headless scripting, CI, or when driving the CLI more efficiently than interactive MCP calls. Shares the same index as the MCP server.

# basemind CLI — the scriptable interface basemind has two equally-weighted surfaces: MCP (interactive tool calls) and CLI (scriptable commands). They share the same machine-global cache (Linux `~/.local/share/basemind/`, macOS `~/Library/Application Support/basemind/`; override `BASEMIND_DATA_HOME`) and are safe to run alongside each other. Reach for the CLI when you're scripting, batching queries, running in headless environments, or CI. ## Capabilities - **Code map across 300+ languages** — tree-sitter outlines, symbol search, references, callers, call graphs, implementations, dependents. - **Full-text + symbol search** — indexed regex over content and substring symbol lookup. - **Git intelligence** — history, blame, and structural diffs at symbol resolution, plus churn. - **Document RAG over 90+ file formats** — PDFs, Office, HTML, email, images (OCR) → semantic search. - **Shared memory** — per-repo, scope-keyed key-value + semantic memory across sessions. - **Web crawl** — scrape / follow-link crawl into the searchable document store. - **Cache management** — stats, garbage collection, selective and full clears. ## When to reach for it - Running in headless environments or CI pipelines. - Batching multiple queries without interactive delays. - Integrating basemind into shell scripts or non-MCP tooling. - Controlling tool routing explicitly (no agent routing decisions). - Clearing caches destructively (only the CLI allows `--component all`). **basemind first, she...
