codeweaver

Codeweaver is a powerful Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed for semantic code search across 166+ programming languages. Developers use it to enable AI agents to intelligently navigate and retrieve code snippets, enhancing productivity and facilitating offline search capabilities. With its hybrid search functionality, Codeweaver makes it easier to find relevant code examples and documentation, streamlining the development process.

Once connected to the Codeweaver server, you can perform semantic searches using natural language queries or specific programming language keywords. You’ll want to focus on queries that are concise and contextually relevant, such as "Find examples of sorting algorithms in Python" or "Show me JavaScript functions for API calls." The server efficiently returns results that align with your request, making it an invaluable tool for developers seeking quick code references.

To use Codeweaver, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Node.js (version 14 or higher)

Option A: Quick Start with npx

If you prefer a quick start, you can run Codeweaver directly using npx:

npx -y knitli/codeweaver

Option B: Global Install Alternative

Alternatively, if you need a global installation, clone the repository and install it manually:

git clone https://github.com/knitli/codeweaver.git
cd codeweaver
npm install -g

For optimal performance, consider configuring the server to cache search results, especially when working offline. You may also need to set environment variables such as CODEWEAVER_PORT to define the port the server runs on. Be aware of common issues like network connectivity that may affect the offline functionality of the search capabilities.
