Why we included this project

Large codebases make agentic editors waste tokens fast, since tools like Claude Code or Cursor will read whole files just to answer a small question. jCodeMunch sidesteps that by indexing your repository locally with tree-sitter and serving agents only the exact definitions they ask for. The maintainers publish a reproducible benchmark putting the savings at roughly 28x fewer tokens than a grep-and-read agent, and the structural queries are what make it worth using day to day: finding what imports a symbol or checking the blast radius before a change is something native tools rarely do well. It installs as a standard MCP server, so your existing setup stays intact, and indexing runs local-first if you would rather not send code to a hosted service.
