Question 1

How does CCG protect my code from AI agents?

Accepted Answer

CCG acts as a safety layer between AI agents (Claude, Cursor, etc.) and your repository. It blocks dangerous actions like mass deletions, breaking API changes, and architectural violations. Every AI action goes through safety checks before execution.

Question 2

What are MCP tools and how many does CCG have?

Accepted Answer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools are functions that AI agents can call. CCG provides 113+ specialized tools for code analysis, workflow management, memory, testing, and safety validation - the most comprehensive MCP toolset available.

Question 3

Why not just use SonarQube + Claude?

Accepted Answer

Code Guardian Studio gives you Tech Debt Index (one number for codebase health), trend tracking across sprints, multi-session reports with before/after comparisons, and Claude-native workflow with MCP integration.

Question 4

Does the free tier have limits?

Accepted Answer

No artificial limits. Dev tier includes full CLI, hotspot detection, Tech Debt Index, and basic reports. It runs 100% offline with no license key required.

Question 5

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

JavaScript/TypeScript have the best support. Python, Java, Go, Rust, and C/C++ work with basic metrics. Any language with recognizable syntax gets file-level analysis.

Question 6

Is my code sent to any server?

Accepted Answer

No. CCG runs 100% locally. All analysis data is stored in the .ccg/ folder in your project and never uploaded anywhere. Only license verification sends your license key (not your code).

Question 7

What data does CCG store?

Accepted Answer

Everything is stored locally in .ccg/: memory.db for decisions and patterns, tasks/*.json for workflow tracking, checkpoints/ for restore points, and registry/ for document index.
