kit is a Python toolkit for code intelligence and context engineering, providing codebase mapping, tree-sitter-based symbol extraction, grep/AST/semantic search, and docstring-based vector indexing. It can be used as a Python library, CLI, REST service, or MCP server to build LLM-powered developer tools like code reviewers and coding assistants.

Use cases

  • build an AI code reviewer with repository context
  • extract functions and classes from a codebase for LLM prompts
  • semantic search over code using docstring embeddings
  • give Claude or Cursor codebase analysis tools via MCP
  • map file structure and dependencies of a large repo
  • find all usages of a class or function across a repository
  • generate PR summaries and commit messages with LLMs

When to choose

  • you're building LLM-powered devtools, agents, or coding assistants that need precise code context
  • you need multi-language symbol extraction and code search from Python
  • you want a local, private MCP server for codebase analysis in AI editors
  • you need semantic code search without shipping code to external services

When to avoid

  • you only need a simple one-off grep or ripgrep search
  • you need a full IDE or hosted code intelligence platform out of the box
  • your project is not Python-based and you need a native library in another language
