How to Set Up and Use Claudemap
ClaudeMap is a code visualization MCP server that generates interactive maps of your repository's structure and relationships, letting AI assistants navigate and explain codebases visually. It connects to Claude Code (and Codex) and exposes slash commands that analyze repos, produce navigable maps, and provide AI-guided walkthroughs of specific functions or modules. Developers use it to onboard quickly to unfamiliar codebases, trace call graphs, and understand architecture without reading every file manually.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or later installed
- Claude Code CLI or Claude Desktop with MCP support
- A local code repository to analyze
- npx available on your PATH
Install ClaudeMap
Run the ClaudeMap installer via npx. This sets up the MCP server and registers the slash commands inside your Claude environment.
npx @quinnaho/claudemap installInstall with Codex support (optional)
If you are using OpenAI Codex instead of Claude Code, add the --assistant flag so the runtime skills are registered for the Codex agent.
npx @quinnaho/claudemap install --assistant codexOpen your project in Claude Code
Navigate to the repository you want to visualize and open the Claude Code CLI.
cd /path/to/your/project && claudeGenerate the initial code map
Inside the Claude Code session, run the setup command. Claude will analyze the repository structure and produce an interactive visualization.
/setup-claudemapNavigate and explore the map
Use the /show command with natural language queries to navigate the map and the /explain command to get AI-guided walkthroughs of specific code paths.
Refresh after code changes
When you modify the codebase, run /refresh to update the visualization so it reflects the current state of the repo.
/refreshClaudemap Examples
Client configuration
Add ClaudeMap to your Claude Desktop config. ClaudeMap is installed as a Claude skill rather than a traditional MCP JSON entry; the installer handles registration automatically.
{
"mcpServers": {}
}
// ClaudeMap registers via the installer:
// npx @quinnaho/claudemap install
// Then use /setup-claudemap inside a Claude Code session.Prompts to try
After running /setup-claudemap, use these natural language commands inside Claude Code to explore your codebase.
- "/setup-claudemap"
- "/show the authentication module"
- "/explain how the request lifecycle works"
- "/refresh"
- "/show all files that import the database client"Troubleshooting Claudemap
npx @quinnaho/claudemap install fails with package not found
Ensure you have Node.js 18+ and npm 9+. Try clearing the npx cache with `npx clear-npx-cache` then re-run the install command.
/setup-claudemap command is not recognized inside Claude Code
The installer must be run before opening Claude Code. Close the current session, run `npx @quinnaho/claudemap install` in a terminal, then reopen Claude Code in your project directory.
Map generation is incomplete for large monorepos
ClaudeMap v0.2.0 introduced sub-map support for large codebases. Run /setup-claudemap again to regenerate with the latest algorithm. For very large repos, run from a subdirectory to scope the map.
