CAST performs deterministic semantic analysis of your source code. Every architecture map, dependency graph and risk score is derived from the actual software, never guessed.
Annual subscriptions include concierge services with dedicated specialists.

The shift
Large applications hide their real structure across technologies, databases and repositories. Decisions made without verified facts create rework, outages and risk.
The old way
The CAST way
Getting started
A simple route from setup to steady output.
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket and Azure DevOps, on-premises or in the cloud.
The engine reads the actual code and maps objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows and cross-application relationships across 450+ technologies.
Results aggregate into views for executives, technologists and AI agents, including quality grades, cloud maturity and work effort metrics.
Prioritize remediation, feed context to AI agents via MCP, and verify changes through structural integrity gates before production.
The toolkit
CAST turns source code into dashboards, maps and call graphs that executives, technologists and AI agents can all act on.
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into a visual blueprint of code objects, data structures, frameworks and dependencies.
CAST Gatekeeper applies ISO 5055 rules to detect system-level flaws affecting security, resiliency and efficiency before changes reach production, and recommends remediation paths.
CAST Highlight grades technical debt, cloud maturity, open source risk and AI readiness across your whole portfolio, so priorities rest on evidence.
An MCP server delivers verified architectural context to AI agents through a secure interface, reducing blind spots and unintended downstream impacts.
CAST SBOM Manager handles software bill of materials, with open source security and license risk detection built in.
Identify the best candidates for cloud migration, surface blockers early, and track progress with cloud maturity scoring.
Connect GitHub, BitBucket and Azure DevOps directly, and link findings to your issue tracking systems.
Measure green software impact and get remediation insights that reduce waste.
What teams see
“CAST makes technical debt remediation at scale possible and boosts developer productivity 5x by equipping AI with deterministic architectural context.”
“CAST helped speed the modernization of 110 million lines of code by 4x across mainframe and distributed systems.”
“CAST enabled IBM Consulting to ground AI in deterministic application context, translate buried business rules into plain English, and accelerate the modernization of a 40-year-old mainframe application.”

Good to know
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 decisions rest on verified facts.
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.
No. CAST complements the AI tools you have already selected. It supplies deterministic application context to MCP-compatible agents and development tools, improving your existing AI-enabled workflows without adding another agent to manage.
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.
CAST is available as SaaS or on-premises. The MCP server is delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension, deployable on-premises or in the cloud.
