System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Local-first semantic code search enables you to understand and reason about large codebases by indexing and querying code semantically, eliminating the need for manual grep or guesswork.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Local-first indexing with AST-aware chunking to enable precise search across thousands of files
  • MCP server integration to expose search and research capabilities to Claude/LLMs
  • Supports both search (fast, exact matches) and research (multi-hop analysis with structured output)
  • On-prem/offline operation and multi-language support to protect sensitive data
  • Ideal for onboarding to unfamiliar monorepos, architectural analysis, and cross-file code comprehension

Quick Start

Index your codebase with chunkhound index and then perform semantic searches with chunkhound search.
