Srclight

About

Srclight is a local code-indexing MCP server that provides code search, call graphs and Git-derived context for AI agents.

Key Features

• Combine text and semantic code lookup with structural relationships.
• Inspect Git blame, hotspots and multi-repository workspace context.

Use Cases

Provide repository context for code review, impact analysis or implementation planning.

Limitations

Its indexed context assists code navigation; actual code and repository history remain the authoritative sources.
