README

smgrep

Semantic code search, GPU-accelerated.

Natural-language search that works like `grep`. Fast, local, GPU-accelerated, and built for coding agents.

Semantic: Finds concepts ("where do transactions get created?"), not just strings.
GPU-Accelerated: CUDA on NVIDIA GPUs, Metal on Apple Silicon.
Local & Private: 100% local embeddings. No API keys required.
Auto-Isolated: Each repository gets its own index automatically.
On-Demand Grammars: Tree-sitter WASM grammars download automatically as needed.
Agent-Ready: Native MCP server and Claude Code integration.

Quick Start

**Install**

cargo install smgrep

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/can1357/smgrep
cd smgrep
cargo build --release

For CPU-only builds (no CUDA):

cargo build --release --no-default-features

**Setup (Recommended)**
```
smgrep setup
```
Downloads embedding models (~500MB) and tree-sitter grammars upfront. If you skip this, models download automatically on first use.
**Search**
```
cd my-repo
smgrep "where do we handle authentication?"
```
**Your first search will automatically index the repository.** Each repository is automatically isolated with its own index. Switching between repos "just works".
