CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of code objects, data structures, and dependencies.
Know Your Software Before AI Changes It
CAST turns source code into factual maps of architecture, dependencies, and risk. Your engineers and AI agents act on verified facts, not guesses.
Every annual subscription includes concierge services with dedicated specialists.

What you get
One intelligence layer for every software decision
From portfolio governance down to a single call path, CAST gives executives, engineers, and AI agents the same verified view.
See inside any application
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into an interactive visual blueprint of code objects, data structures, and dependencies.
Govern portfolios with facts
CAST Highlight scores technical debt, cloud maturity, open source risk, and AI readiness across your whole portfolio with empirical data.
Stop flaws before production
CAST Gatekeeper analyzes semantics, applies ISO 5055 rules, recommends remediation paths, and connects to your issue tracking systems.
Ground AI agents in reality
An MCP server delivers architectural context to AI agents through a secure interface, so changes rest on verified facts about the software.
Clear the path to cloud
Identify the best migration candidates, surface blockers, and measure cloud maturity before you commit a migration plan.
Manage your SBOM
CAST SBOM Manager handles software bill of materials, with open source security and license risk detection built in.
Why change
Complex software slows every initiative
Technical debt, cloud migrations, and AI-driven change all stall for the same reason: nobody can see what is actually inside the applications.
The old way
- ×AI coding agents guess at relationships that span technologies, databases, and repositories
- ×Modernization planning relies on tribal knowledge and manual discovery that takes months
- ×Structural flaws surface in production instead of being caught before release
- ×Technical debt grows unchecked because no one can measure or prioritize it
The CAST way
- ✓Semantic analysis builds a deterministic map of real objects, dependencies, and data flows
- ✓Interactive blueprints reverse engineer entire applications for faster modernization planning
- ✓A structural integrity gate applies ISO 5055 rules and blocks system-level flaws before production
- ✓AI agents receive verified architectural context through an MCP server, cutting rework and risk
The flow
From source code to decisions in four steps
A clear path from first step to measurable outcome.
Connect your repositories
CAST plugs directly into GitHub, BitBucket, and Azure DevOps to analyze your source code and open source components.
Run semantic analysis
A deterministic engine, often described as an MRI for software, maps objects, transactions, data flows, and cross-application dependencies.
Read the dashboards and maps
Results aggregate into dashboards, architectural graphs, and call graphs covering quality grades, flaws, cloud maturity, and work effort.
Put the context to work
Executives steer initiatives, engineers target remediation, and AI agents receive the same factual map via MCP to transform code safely.

Questions
Questions teams ask before adopting 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 and safely.
Why can't an AI coding agent understand the application on its own?+
AI agents generate code well but struggle to understand large, complex applications from source files alone. Important relationships span multiple technologies, databases, repositories, and applications. CAST gives the agent a factual map of those relationships, reducing blind spots and unintended downstream impacts.
What does deterministic software intelligence mean?+
The information comes from semantic analysis of the actual software, not from probabilistic LLM inference. CAST identifies real objects, dependencies, transactions, data flows, and architectural relationships, so AI work is grounded in verified facts.
Does CAST replace our existing AI coding tools?+
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 workflows without adding another agent to manage.
What use cases does AI + CAST support?+
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?+
The MCP server ships as a Docker container or Windows extension, deployable on-premises or in the cloud. CAST itself is available as SaaS or on-premises.
