Why we included this project

Coding agents are only as good as what they can see of your codebase, and on large or unfamiliar repos that often means guessing or spending context tokens on files they do not need. CocoIndex Code builds an AST-aware semantic index of the project and serves the agent short, targeted search results, so it can find where symbols are defined and how they relate without reading everything. Setup is a one-minute install with zero configuration, and you can drive it from the CLI, teach Claude Code or Codex to search on its own through a Skill, or expose it as an MCP server for other agents. It reportedly cuts token usage by about 70 percent, which matters on big codebases where the context window is the real constraint. If your team already runs an agent and wants it to navigate unfamiliar code more reliably, this is a low-friction way to get there.
