Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP

Overview

Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server: Local-first semantic code search across all your repos. Private context for AI coding assistants. Because it speaks the Model Context Protocol, AI assistants can use Paparats – Local Semantic Code Search MCP as a set of callable tools instead of you copy-pasting between apps.

It runs locally: the npm package @paparats/cli speaks MCP over stdio on your machine. No credentials are required — it works out of the box. The current release is v2.6.0, published under the MIT license, with source at IBazylchuk/paparats-mcp on GitHub, where it has earned 10 stars.
