Start Using CodeAlive in Three Simple Steps

Transform your AI coding experience with deep contextual understanding of your codebase.
1

Create Your CodeAlive Account

  1. Visit app.codealive.ai to create your account
  2. Complete the registration process
  3. Navigate to MCP & API in the dashboard
  4. Click ”+ Create API Key”
  5. Copy your key immediately (it won’t be displayed again)
Save your API key securely - you’ll need it to connect your AI assistants and it cannot be retrieved later
Once logged in:
  1. Navigate to the Data Sources section
  2. Connect your GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket repositories
  3. Select the repositories you want to index
  4. CodeAlive will begin building your codebase knowledge graph
The initial indexing typically takes 5-15 minutes depending on repository size
