Process
From source code to verified intelligence
From first touch to real results, without the guesswork.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket and Azure DevOps to analyze your source code and open source components.
Deterministic analysis runs
Semantic analysis maps architecture, dependencies, data access and cross-application relationships across 450+ technologies, on-premises or in the cloud.
Dashboards and maps appear
Results aggregate into dashboards, architectural graphs and call graphs covering quality grades, cloud maturity, AI readiness and work effort.
Teams and AI agents act on facts
Executives steer initiatives, developers target the right debt, and MCP-connected AI agents work from verified context instead of assumptions.
What it does
Intelligence that holds up under scrutiny
Every insight traces back to the actual code, which is what makes it dependable enough to act on.
See inside any application
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of code objects, data structures, dependencies and frameworks.
Structural integrity gate
CAST Gatekeeper analyzes semantics, applies ISO 5055 rules, recommends remediation paths and connects to your issue tracking systems.
Open source risk control
Detect open source security and license risks across your portfolio and manage them with software bill of materials (SBOM) tooling.
Cloud readiness, measured
Identify the best candidates for cloud migration and the specific blockers standing in the way, with cloud maturity scoring.
Technical debt, prioritized
Pinpoint and rank the code that actually causes production issues so remediation effort lands where it counts.
AI and agentic readiness
Give MCP-compatible AI agents a factual map of architecture, call paths and dependencies so they transform complex software safely.
Green software insights
Understand the environmental impact of your software and get concrete remediation guidance.

FAQ
Questions, answered with facts
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
The information is derived through semantic analysis of the actual software rather than inferred or generated probabilistically by an LLM. CAST identifies the application's real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows and architectural relationships, so work is grounded in verified facts.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents generate code well but struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships may span multiple technologies, databases, repositories and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of these relationships, reducing blind spots, incorrect assumptions and unintended downstream impacts.
What is AI + CAST?+
AI + CAST combines AI coding agents with deterministic software intelligence. CAST maps the architecture, dependencies, data access, call paths and structural risks inside an application, then provides that context to AI agents so they can understand and transform complex software more accurately, efficiently and safely.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools your organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without adding another tool to replace.
What development and modernization use cases does CAST support?+
Common use cases include understanding unfamiliar applications, extracting business rules, change-impact analysis, generating documentation and tests, remediating technical debt, removing cloud blockers, identifying microservice candidates, replacing frameworks or databases, and transforming legacy applications.
How is CAST deployed?+
Deployment options include SaaS and on-premises. The MCP server is delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension, deployable on-premises or in the cloud.
