Connect it to your agent through MCP to help it explore an unfamiliar codebase, locate implementations, and find the related code needed for a fix or feature.\n\nIt indexes your working directory and follows saved changes. Given a natural-language task, it combines semantic and keyword search, code relationships, and reranking to return relevant source snippets with file paths and line numbers, within a fixed context budget.\n\n## Why OpenContextEngine\n\n- **Search beyond exact words.** Describe a behavior; retrieve its implementation and connected code across files.\n- **Understand code structure.** Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, and Go adapters, plus text fallback for other languages, configuration, and scripts.\n- **Stay current as you edit.** Saved changes, file deletions, and branch switches sync automatically. Unchanged embeddings are reused; incomplete updates never replace a complete index.\n- **Work across projects through MCP.** Your agent supplies the project path; indexes start on demand and are reused. `search_code` retrieves evidence; `index_status` reports synchronization.\n\n## Measured results\n\n![Required evidence coverage and observed query time](assets/benchmarks/method-comparison.svg)\n\n**94.79% required evidence coverage · 1.73 s median retrieval · 69/80 queries with complete evidence.** Seven engines, four repositories, the same 4,000-token output budget. OpenContextEngine retained the most required evidence in this internal development evaluation.\n\nMeasured with the optional batch rerank API. 40 source-derived tasks, each asked in Chinese and English.
