A lightweight AST-based semantic code search CLI built on the CocoIndex Rust data transformation engine, with tree-sitter parsing and embeddings. It indexes codebases incrementally and exposes search via CLI, Skill, or MCP server for coding agents like Claude, Codex, and Cursor.

Use cases

  • search my codebase by meaning instead of grep
  • give my coding agent fast context about a repo
  • find where a function is called across the codebase
  • index a large repo incrementally as it changes
  • reduce token usage when an agent explores a codebase
  • set up code search with zero config in a minute
  • query code structure like call graphs and symbol tables

When to choose

  • you use AI coding agents and want fresh, token-efficient code context
  • you need semantic or AST-aware code search rather than plain text matching
  • you want a zero-config, quick-setup embedded search tool for a repo

When to avoid

  • you need a hosted or multi-tenant search service rather than a local embedded tool
  • your project requires non-code document search with complex pipelines (use CocoIndex itself)
  • you need a full IDE-integrated code navigation product rather than a CLI/MCP tool
