delimit-mcp-server vs codeindex
delimit-mcp-server: Delimit provides API governance, breaking change detection, and persistent memory for AI coding assistants. It works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Gemini CLI to prevent breaking changes and maintain context across sessions.; codeindex: codeindex is a dependency analyzer that builds a blast-radius impact score for every file in your repo — showing which files will break if a given file changes. It also generates a symbol index mapping every function and class to its exact file and line number, so AI tools can locate any symbol in one lookup without scanning the whole codebase. Supports 12+ languages, zero required dependencies (pure Python stdlib), and five consumption modes including CLI, MCP server, and CLAUDE.md injection.
