# code-rag: Semantic Code Search MCP Server
> Search your codebase using natural language. Built as an MCP server for AI coding assistants.



## What It Does
**code-rag** is a semantic code search engine that lets you query code with natural language:
```
"how are users fetched from the database"
"feature flag check pattern"
"authentication middleware"
```
Instead of exact keyword matching, it understands the *meaning* of your query and finds relevant code.
## Features
| Feature | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Natural Language Search** | Query code semantically |
| **Related Files** | Find files semantically related to a given file |
| **Context Expansion** | Get surrounding code for search results |
| **Multi-Repo Support** | Index multiple repositories |
| **MCP Protocol** | Works with Claude, OpenCode, and other MCP clients |
| **Local Execution** | 100% local - your code never leaves your machine |
## MCP Tools
