[Open Source] We built a local code search MCP for Claude Code that uses ~98% fewer tokens than grep+read

What it does

This tool is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) implementation that provides optimized code search capabilities for Claude Code. It enables developers to search and navigate through their codebase locally with significantly reduced token consumption compared to standard grep and file reading approaches.

How to set up

As an open-source project, installation typically involves cloning the repository and configuring it as an MCP server for Claude. Specific setup instructions would be available in the project's documentation or README file.

Key features

• ~98% token reduction compared to grep+read workflows
• Local code search without external API calls
• MCP integration with Claude Code
• Optimized search performance
• Open-source and customizable
• Cost-effective codebase navigation
