README

Sense ⠎⠑⠝⠎⠑

An MCP server for codebase context, built for AI coding agents.

Your AI agent reads 19 files to answer "who calls this function?" because it has the text of your codebase but never the map. It re-derives structure on every task, burns tokens chasing grep chains, and hallucinates dependencies that don't exist. Sense indexes your repo once and serves a symbol graph plus semantic code search over MCP. Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, and any MCP client finish the same task in 10 tool calls instead of 19, on 156K tokens instead of 228K, with the same correctness (bench/).

One binary, one local index, four tools for your AI. No SaaS account, no API key, no cloud dependency.

Sense sits on your machine, has no learning curve, and isn't for you. It's for your AI.

What changes

Measured across 7 real-world codebases (Discourse, Flask, Next.js, Axum, Gin, Javalin, and a private e-commerce repo). Full methodology and raw data: bench/. Head-to-head leaderboard against Serena, Probe, GitNexus, code-search MCPs: docs/bench-leaderboard.svg.

Metric	Claude Code (Opus 4.6)	Claude Code (Opus 4.6) + Sense	Change
Tool calls per task	19	10	-47%
Tokens per task	228K	156K	-32%
Cost per task	$0.42	$0.31	-26%
Session time	91s	73s	-19%
Score per 100K tokens	0.19	0.30	+64%
Score per minute	0.28	0.38	+37%

Same correctness, dramatically less work. Sense doesn't make the model smarter. It gives the model structural understanding so it stops wasting effort.

Structural tasks

Tasks that require understanding code relationships, not just reading text, are where Sense pulls ahead.

Task type	Baseline	+ Sense	Why
Blast radius	0.17	0.25	Pre-computed dependency graph vs. manual grep chains
Find callers	0.27	0.33	Graph lookup vs. reading dozens of files
Dead code	0.00	0.05	Baseline can't do this at all
Semantic search	0.36	0.38	Two-stage retrieval (bi-encoder + cross-encoder) with text fallback

Where Sense doesn't help

Sense is structural understanding, not a general search engine. For tasks that are fundamentally text-grep (find a log message, locate a string literal), plain grep is the right tool and Sense adds nothing. Search text fallback (ripgrep) bridges some of this gap, but it's a fallback, not a replacement.

Install

curl -fsSL https://luuuc.github.io/sense/install.sh | sh

Or download the binary for your OS from the latest release, unzip, and move sense somewhere on your PATH.
