Today is the operative word: we check Better Code Review Graph every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: EMBEDDING_MODELS (Embedding models in selection order; the current runtime uses the first provider/model entry; empty = local ONNX), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_MODEL (Built-in fastretrieval model ID or local directory with fastretrieval-manifest.json), LOCAL_RERANK_MODEL (Fastretrieval TextCrossEncoder model ID; empty = reranking disabled), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_DIM (Required positive output dimension for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_MODEL_FILE (ONNX file path inside a manifest-backed local embedding directory), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_POOLING (Explicit pooling for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), LOCAL_EMBEDDING_NORMALIZE (Explicit L2 normalization for an external local embedding ID without a manifest), SUMMARY_MODELS (Summarizer model selection; first provider/model entry only, no fallback; empty = disabled), COHERE_API_KEY (Credential for explicitly selected Cohere embeddings, including a configured CF AI Gateway route), OPENROUTER_API_KEY (Credential for explicitly selected OpenRouter completion models), EMBEDDING_BACKEND (DEPRECATED (honored one release): embedding backend override 'local' or 'cloud'. Use EMBEDDING_MODELS instead.), EMBEDDING_API_BASE (Provider-compatible cloud embedding endpoint, including CF AI Gateway; SSRF-guarded.), LLM_API_BASE (Provider-compatible summarizer base URL, including CF AI Gateway; SSRF-guarded.), SUMMARY_MODEL (DEPRECATED (honored one release): single summarizer model as a litellm 'provider/model' string. Use SUMMARY_MODELS instead.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

Better Code Review Graph — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Better Code Review Graph?
Better Code Review Graph runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the pypi package better-code-review-graph was installed 2 785 times last week.
How do I connect Better Code Review Graph?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls better-code-review-graph straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Better Code Review Graph?
The pypi package better-code-review-graph was installed 2 785 times in the last week. Week over week that is +206%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Better Code Review Graph open source?
Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in Python, 68 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
