Sverklo
Local code intelligence for AI editors. No cloud.
Sverklo is a local-first MCP server that gives AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) a symbol graph, hybrid search, and diff-aware PR review — without sending your code to anyone's cloud. MIT licensed, single SQLite file, 20 tools over MCP.
Hey PH! I'm the maker of Sverklo.
I built this because every AI coding tool I tried either sent my code to the cloud or gave me keyword search that missed the actual symbols I needed.
So I built a local MCP server that combines BM25 lexical search + ONNX vector embeddings + PageRank over the dependency graph — all running on your machine, all stored in a single SQLite file.
The thing I'm most proud of: I dogfooded it on its own codebase before shipping. Ran 3 structured sessions where I used Sverklo to navigate and refactor Sverklo's own code. Found 4 real bugs in my own tool that unit tests missed:
1. Impact analysis silently dropped repeat call sites
2. Reference search returned 48 substring matches drowning 5 real hits
3. Lookup returned "No results" on valid queries (silent failure)
4. Parser had an off-by-one skipping functions after the first in multi-function files
All four are fixed, regression-tested, and documented in the full unedited session log: github.com/nickshanks347/sverklo/blob/main/DOGFOOD.md
I'd love your honest feedback — especially if you try it on a real codebase and something feels wrong. I triage issues within hours.
npm install -g sverklo && cd your-project && sverklo init
