Semble is a fast, CPU-only code search library built for coding agents, providing semantic and hybrid search over codebases with ~99% fewer tokens than grep+read. It integrates as an MCP server, CLI tool via AGENTS.md instructions, or a dedicated sub-agent for agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

Use cases

  • let coding agents search a codebase semantically instead of grepping
  • reduce token usage when agents explore large repositories
  • index and query a repo in under a second on CPU
  • expose code search as an MCP tool for Claude Code or Cursor
  • find how authentication or a feature is implemented via natural language queries
  • search remote git repositories without cloning manually

When to choose

  • you use AI coding agents and want fast, accurate, token-efficient code retrieval
  • you need code search that runs fully on CPU with no API keys or external services
  • you want an MCP server or sub-agent integration for code search

When to avoid

  • you need GPU-accelerated or transformer-grade retrieval beyond its benchmark quality
  • you need a hosted or cloud-based code search service
  • your project is not Python 3.10+ compatible
