Projects
In practice, it turns codebases into a queryable graph and gives agents the right questions before any change: where to look, what depends on it, what the risk is, and what the next step is.
Open source MCP
The context layer AI agents need before touching a codebase.
Flow Engine reads real projects and exposes an MCP to map architecture, locate symbols, generate focused context, measure blast radius, score risk and build refactor plans.
Built by Rodrigo to turn software maintenance into a traceable decision: the agent does not get a file dump, it gets the map, the target, the impact, the risk and the next step.
What it delivers
Exposed MCP tools
In action
Typical task: plan a change in a 100k+ LOC Laravel + TypeScript monorepo with multiple areas and teams.
flow_map maps architecture, areas, entrypoints and boundaries of the project.flow_find locates candidates by name without opening files.flow_lookup confirms the exact shape of each candidate straight from the graph.flow_impact returns callers, callees and blast radius of the target node.Outcome: In a few minutes, the agent goes from request to plan with the right spot located and the change impact already drawn — no blind file reading.
Product in operation
POS and management for restaurants in a single operation.
POS and management for restaurants, with dine-in, counter, owned delivery, iFood, 99Food, cashier, inventory and operations in a single flow.
Rodrigo built the technical foundation: Laravel backend, React/TypeScript frontend, multi-tenant architecture, marketplace integrations, POS, storefront and real-time operations.
