codesearch vs mimirs

codesearch: codesearch is a token-efficient MCP server for AI agents that enables local semantic code search. It integrates with OpenCode, Claude Code and other AI assistants to perform intelligent code searches with minimal token usage, all running locally with no external API calls.; mimirs: Mímirs provides persistent project memory for AI coding agents, reducing token consumption and context overhead through local indexing, semantic search, cross-session memory, and dependency graphs. It works with multiple editors and is privacy-preserving with no cloud dependencies. The tool achieves 90-98% recall@10 on real codebases.
