Result: 80% fewer tokens per complex task (measured on real bug investigations in a 500k-line PHP codebase: 15,000 tokens → 3,000). Status: Validated on Claude Code (the only client tested in real workflows so far). Should work with any standard MCP client (Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Zed, etc.) but those are untested . Issues and contributions welcome. No vectors. No embeddings. No external services. Just ripgrep + AST symbol extraction + smart ranking. --- Install That's it. The postinstall: - Registers Lexis with Claude Code automatically (user scope, works in any project) - Writes usage hints to /.claude/CLAUDE.md so Claude prefers Lexis over Read / Grep - Bundles ripgrep — no extra dependencies For other clients (Cursor, Windsurf, OpenCode, etc.): --- Why it exists LLMs are smart but not omniscient. When you ask Claude Code about a bug in a 100k-line codebase, it has two options: 1. Read whole files blindly — burns tokens, often misses the cause 2. Use search tools — fast and precise, but only if those tools exist lexis-mcp provides those tools. Claude Code calls them autonomously through MCP, gets exactly what it needs, and answers with a fraction of the context. --- Example: how a session looks You (in Claude Code, after npm install -g lexis-mcp ): \"There's a bug — config files aren't being regenerated after updating the ","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/R0MADEV","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/R0MADEV/lexis/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
