CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into a visual blueprint showing code objects, data structures, dependencies, and call paths.
What it does
Everything you need to see inside your software
CAST analyzes source code deterministically, not probabilistically, so every insight is grounded in verified facts about your actual application.
Interactive architecture maps
CAST Imaging reverse engineers an entire application into a visual blueprint showing code objects, data structures, dependencies, and call paths.
Portfolio governance dashboards
CAST Highlight aggregates results across your portfolio with empirical facts on technical debt, cloud maturity, OSS risks, and AI readiness.
AI agent context via MCP
The CAST MCP server gives AI coding agents factual architectural context so they understand complex software and make changes with less rework and risk.
Structural integrity gate
CAST Gatekeeper applies ISO 5055 rules to detect system-level flaws affecting security, resiliency, and efficiency before changes reach production.
SBOM management
CAST SBOM Manager generates and manages software bill of materials. Available as a free download.
Cloud readiness analysis
Identify the best candidates for cloud migration, spot blockers, and get work-effort metrics to plan with confidence.

Answers
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 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?+
CAST supports both SaaS and on-premises deployment. The MCP server is delivered as a Docker container or Windows extension, deployable on-premises or in the cloud.
