Overview
Graphite is a code review platform that works on top of GitHub and is built around stacked pull requests: a developer splits a large change into a sequence of small dependent pull requests, each reviewed separately, and Graphite’s CLI keeps the stack rebased. Small pull requests are easier to review, so the approach targets review speed in fast-moving teams. Graphite adds a review inbox, notifications, Slack integration, team insights, a VS Code extension, an MCP server and AI review through Graphite Chat and AI Reviews.[10] In 2026 the company announced that Cursor Cloud Agents are available in Graphite, letting users create, review and ship changes from the pull request.[10] The Hobby tier is free for personal repositories with limited AI reviews; Starter costs US$20 per user per month billed annually and supports all GitHub organisation repositories; Team, at US$40, adds unlimited AI reviews and chat.[10] Graphite supports GitHub only, and its benefits depend on developers adopting the stacked workflow.
