Enhanced MCP server for semantic code search with call-graph proximity, recency ranking, and find-similar-code. Built for AI coding assistants.

Heuristic MCP is a server that provides smart code search capabilities to editors and MCP clients. It works by scanning your workspace to build a searchable code index, which AI models and MCP tools can then query using natural language.

    Call-graph proximity and recency weighting in semantic code search is sophisticated.

    Finding code by how it relates to other code, not just its content, is the right approach.

    Heuristic weighting makes results more relevant than pure embedding similarity.
