# Turn mixed local folders into a queryable knowledge graph with Graphify

Ingest code, docs, PDFs, images, and video from local folders into a searchable knowledge graph so agents can follow entities and relationships instead of only raw text.

## Prerequisites

Graphify CLI or MCP server, local project/document folders

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv tool install graphifyy
- pipx install graphifyy
- pip install graphifyy
- **graphify: command not found?** Use uv tool install graphifyy or pipx install graphifyy — both put the CLI on PATH automatically. With plain pip, add ~/.local/bin (Linux) or ~/Library/Python/3.x/bin (Mac) to your PAT...

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- | leiden | Leiden community detection (Python < 3.13 only) | pip install "graphifyy[leiden]" |
- /graphify . --cluster-only --exclude-hubs 99 # suppress utility super-hubs from god-node rankings

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- For a readable architecture page with Mermaid call-flow diagrams, run:
- **Official package:** The PyPI package is graphifyy (double-y). Other graphify* packages on PyPI are not affiliated. The CLI command is still graphify.
- **Step 1 — install the package:**
