What Srclight does

Deep code indexing MCP server for AI agents. 25 tools: hybrid FTS5 + embedding search, call graphs, git blame/hotspots, build system analysis. Multi-repo workspaces, GPU-accelerated semantic search, 10 languages via tree-sitter. Fully local, zero cloud dependencies.

**Deep code indexing for AI agents.** SQLite FTS5 + tree-sitter + embeddings + MCP.

Srclight builds a rich, searchable index of your codebase that AI coding agents can query instantly — replacing dozens of grep/glob calls with precise, structured lookups. It is the most comprehensive code intelligence MCP server available: 42 tools covering symbol search, relationship graphs, community detection, impact analysis, git change intelligence, semantic search, build system awareness, and document extraction — capabilities no other single MCP server combines. Fully local and private: your code never leaves your machine.

Why?

AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) spend **40-60% of their tokens on orientation** — searching for files, reading code to understand structure, hunting for callers and callees. Srclight eliminates this waste.

Without Srclight	With Srclight
8-12 grep rounds to find callers	`get_callers("lookup")` — one call
Read 5 files to understand module	`codebase_map()` — instant overview
"Find code that does X" → 20 greps	`semantic_search("dictionary lookup")` — one call
Edit a function, break 47 callers	`detect_changes()` — shows blast radius before you commit
15-25 tool calls per bug fix	5-8 tool calls per bug fix

Features

Minimal dependencies — single SQLite file per repo, no Docker/Redis/vector DB
Fully offline — no API calls, works air-gapped (Ollama local embeddings)
Incremental — only re-indexes changed files (content hash detection)
19 languages — Python, C, C++, C#, Java, Kotlin, Swift, Dart, Go, Rust
