SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Vera MCP guides agents to perform read-only repository discovery using Vera indexed-code tools before manual digging, reducing time to locate architectures and references.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • vera_get_stats to assess index health and scope
  • vera_get_overview to map project structure and hotspots
  • vera_search_code to locate definitions, usage, and cross-file relationships
  • vera_regex_search for exact identifiers and regex matches
  • Read to confirm results in context

Quick Start

Run vera_get_stats(path=/repo) to perform initial discovery, then vera_get_overview(path=/repo) to map architecture, and finally vera_search_code(query=..., intent=..., path=**/*, limit=5).

FAQPage Schema
How do I get an architecture overview of a large codebase quickly?▼

To get a codebase architecture overview quickly, use Vera to map project structure and hotspots. It indexes repositories to provide read-only exploration, identifying where logic lives without manual digging through files.

What is the best way to search for exact identifiers and regex matches across a repository?▼

The best way to search for exact identifiers and regex matches is using Vera's deterministic workflow. It applies vera_regex_search to locate precise matches, then uses Read to confirm results in context within the repository.

How do I locate where specific logic lives in a medium or large repository?▼

To locate where logic lives in a repository, run vera_get_stats to assess index scope, then vera_get_overview to map architecture, and finally vera_search_code to locate definitions, usage, and cross-file relationships.

Can I use this code discovery approach for cross-file relationship mapping?▼

Yes, you can use this code discovery approach for cross-file relationship mapping. Vera search locates definitions, usage, and cross-file relationships by querying indexed code before confirming results with targeted reads.

Does Vera codebase search support write operations or modifications?▼

No, Vera codebase search does not support write operations. It is designed for read-only repository discovery, focusing on mapping architecture and locating references without modifying the underlying codebase.
