Corbell is a local‑first command‑line tool for analyzing multi‑repo codebases. It constructs a graph of services, call paths, method signatures, DB/queue/HTTP dependencies, and git change coupling across all repositories. Using sentence‑transformer embeddings locally and storing the graph in SQLite, Corbell can generate and validate high‑level and low‑level design documents without any external API calls—only optional Ollama for the LLM. The tool also offers a MCP server so editors like Cursor or Claude Desktop can query the architecture graph directly. Ideal for backend teams that need cross‑repo context during code reviews and documentation.
