SocratiCode is a codebase context engine distributed as an MCP server, Claude Code plugin, and VS Code extension that indexes code, dependency graphs, database schemas, and API specs for semantic search and symbol-level impact analysis. It runs locally and privately via Docker with Qdrant and embeddings, and a hosted cloud version is in private beta.

Use cases

• give my AI coding assistant full codebase context
• semantic search across a large codebase
• analyze symbol-level impact and call flow before refactoring
• index database schemas and API specs alongside source code
• reduce token usage and tool calls in AI-assisted development
• search across multiple repos and branches
• run a private local code indexer for Claude or Cursor

When to choose

• you use Claude Code, Cursor, or VS Code with MCP and want better codebase understanding
• your codebase is large (millions of LOC) and grep-based context is too slow or token-heavy
• you need local, private indexing with no code leaving your machine
• you want dependency graphs and impact analysis fed to AI assistants

When to avoid

• you need a lightweight tool without Docker or local dependencies
• your project is small enough that plain grep suffices
• you require a permissive license (it is AGPL-3.0)
• you need a fully managed service today (cloud is only in private beta)
