Capabilities
Everything you need to see inside your software
From portfolio-level governance down to individual call paths, CAST gives you and your AI agents the facts to move fast without breaking things.
Interactive architecture maps
CAST Imaging reverse-engineers an entire application into a visual blueprint showing code objects, data structures, dependencies, and cross-application relationships.
Portfolio governance dashboards
CAST Highlight aggregates results across your portfolio so executives can steer technical debt, cloud readiness, and open-source risk with empirical facts.
Structural integrity gate
CAST Gatekeeper applies ISO 5055 rules to detect system-level flaws affecting security, resiliency, and efficiency before changes reach production.
AI agent context via MCP
The CAST MCP server feeds deterministic architectural context to AI coding agents so they understand complex applications and transform them with less rework.
Cloud readiness analysis
Identify cloud migration blockers, prioritize remediation, and map clear pathways to cloud for every application in your portfolio.
SBOM management
CAST SBOM Manager generates and manages software bills of materials. Available as a free download.
Why change
Manual discovery is where modernization stalls
Teams spend months reading code, tracing dependencies, and guessing at risk. CAST replaces that with deterministic facts in hours.
The old way
- ×Months of manual code reading before any change can be planned
- ×AI coding agents guess at relationships across technologies, databases, and repositories
- ×Technical debt grows unchecked because nobody can see where the real problems live
- ×Cloud migration plans built on assumptions, not verified architecture
With CAST
- ✓Semantic analysis maps your entire application into interactive blueprints in hours
- ✓AI agents receive verified architectural context through an MCP server, reducing blind spots and rework
- ✓Find the 8% of code causing 90% of production reliability, security, and efficiency issues
- ✓Identify cloud blockers, microservice candidates, and modernization pathways with empirical facts

Common questions
Common questions about CAST
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.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI coding agents are effective at generating code 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 does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
It means 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 the AI agent can ground its work in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools?+
No. CAST complements the AI tools an organization has already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, allowing customers to improve their existing AI-enabled workflows without introducing another tool.
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?+
CAST is available as SaaS or on-premises. The MCP server is delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension. CAST plugs directly into source code repositories including GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps.
