Show HN: Carto – structural intelligence for AI coding agents (OSS)
Carto is a structural intelligence layer designed for AI coding tools, enhancing their understanding of codebases. By integrating with various AI tools, it allows them to query structural facts rather than making guesses. This results in more accurate coding suggestions and improved architectural awareness for developers.
- ▪Carto auto-wires itself into every AI tool installed, enhancing their capabilities.
- ▪It enables AI tools to provide precise coding suggestions based on the architecture of the codebase.
- ▪Carto supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, making it versatile for various development environments.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
carto The structural intelligence layer for AI coding tools. Your AI coding tool sees files. Carto sees architecture — domains, blast radius, import graph, routes. Every AI tool you use stops guessing about your codebase and starts knowing it. npm install -g carto-md cd your-project carto init That's it. Carto auto-wires itself into every AI tool you have installed. Restart your AI tool and it now knows your codebase architecturally. Works with: Cursor · Claude Code · Kiro · Claude Desktop · Windsurf · VS Code Copilot · JetBrains · Zed Use it with your AI tool carto init auto-wires the MCP server into every AI tool it detects. If yours wasn't detected, here's the manual config — one block, copy-paste, done. Cursor carto init writes this for you.
