    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Provides a lightweight, AST-based semantic code search engine accessible via CLI or coding agent integration.
    • Delivers ultra-fast, token-efficient code search with zero configuration and multi-language support using a Rust-powered indexing backend.
    • Use for integrating semantic code search into coding agents like Claude Code or Codex to enhance code comprehension and navigation.
    • Use for running local, offline-capable code search with local embeddings to avoid API dependencies and preserve privacy.
    • Use for performing structural code searches by example patterns across large codebases without requiring an index or daemon.

    From the README

    A lightweight, effective (AST-based) semantic code search tool for your codebase. Built on CocoIndex β€” a Rust-based ultra performant data transformation engine. Use it from the CLI, or integrate with Claude, Codex, Cursor β€” any coding agent β€” via Skill or MCP.

    🌟 Please help star CocoIndex if you like this project!

    Two install styles β€” they mirror the Docker image variants of the same names:

    Next, set up your coding agent integration β€” or jump to Manual CLI Usage if you prefer direct control.
