Cross-Codebase Context

Context

Frontend teams often need to reference backend APIs and data models. Tools like Cursor can infer this automatically, but they must grep, read, and analyze large portions of the backend repo every time — which increases token usage, latency, and cost.

What Scout Code Does

Scout Code indexes your backend repo and exposes it as an MCP server. Cursor (or any MCP client) can then query structured repo context instantly, without re-reading source files.

Example

Backend (fruit-service)
Developer prompt in Cursor:
Create a frontend function to call /fruits API and display all fruits in a table.

Without Scout Code

Token usage: ~56K Latency: ~12s

With Scout Code MCP

Token usage: ~33K Latency: ~2s

Resulting Frontend


Summary

Scout Code converts your codebase into a queryable context source — reducing tokens, improving speed, and enabling context-aware responses across repos.
