Mintocode

Mintocode is a coding agent context tool that compiles repositories into verified symbol graphs to reduce token usage.

Mintocode compiles a code repository once into agent-facing cards and a symbol-level link graph, storing everything in plain text. For every question, it links the relevant paragraphs and sends only those to the coding agent, avoiding whole-repository pastes. It is built for developers using coding agents who want to reduce token counts and context exploration costs. It integrates with agents like Claude Code, Codex, ZCode, and OpenCode through hooks and MCP tools. Supported inputs include Python repositories, and it works with multiple model backends including Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible APIs.
