About codesearch

codesearch Multi-repo semantic code search for AI agents — a Rust MCP server with vector + BM25 hybrid retrieval, symbol navigation, and cross-repository orchestration. Fully local, fully offline, no GPU, no Docker. codesearch gives AI agents (OpenCode, Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP client) deep codebase understanding through 5 unified MCP tools. Index once, search semantically across multiple repositories simultaneously. Why codesearch? Multi-repo serve mode: Fan-out queries across repository groups with cross-repo RRF ranking Hybrid retrieval: Vector embeddings + BM25 full-text search fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion Symbol navigation: Jump to definitions, find usages, trace imports and dependents — in the same tool AST-aware chunking: Tree-sitter parsing for 16 languages — chunks align to functions/classes (and Markdo

How this security grade is produced

Grades come from a rule-based scan built on the SlowMist agent-security taxonomy, covering 11 red-flag categories including credential harvesting, data exfiltration, and curl | sh installers. It is a first-layer scan, not a manual audit — we say so rather than overstate it.

The scale of the problem is documented independently: Liu et al. (2026), in a study of 31,132 agent skills, report that 26.1% contain security vulnerabilities. Our own full-catalog census is published as a citable open dataset.
