CIPHER-Local
Give AI coding assistants real code intelligence via MCP
CIPHER-Local launched on April 13, 2026.
What it does
CIPHER-Local indexes your workspace using Tree-sitter and serves structured code intelligence to AI coding assistants via MCP. Your AI can search symbols, resolve definitions, find references, and query dependencies — all from a local SQLite index. No cloud, no API keys, 13 languages, MIT licensed. Works with GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and Claude Desktop.
Extension for Visual Studio Code - Local-first code intelligence for large repositories. Indexes your workspace and exposes an MCP server for AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code).
Local-first code intelligence for large repositories. Indexes your workspace with Tree-sitter, stores everything in SQLite, and exposes an MCP server so GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, and other AI agents can query your code — no cloud, no Docker, no API keys. Workspace files │ ▼ Tree-sitter WASM (TypeScript / JS / Python / Rust / Go / Java) │ ▼ Symbol extraction + chunking (ecip-core) │ ▼ Embeddings (ONNX all-MiniLM-L6-v2 · 384 dims, or BM25 fallback) │ ▼ SQLite (WAL mode, FTS5, optional sqlite-vec ANN) │ ▼ MCP HTTP+SSE server ←→ GitHub Copilot / Cursor / Claude Code The index is stored in VS Code's extension global storage — one .db file per workspace, never committed to your repo.…from marketplace.visualstudio.com

Hi HN! We just launched Codacy Guardrails, an IDE extension with a CLI for code analysis and MCP server that enforces security & quality rules on AI-generated code in real-time. It hooks into AI coding assistants (like VS Code Agent Mode, Cursor, Windsurf), silently scanning and fixing AI-suggested code that has vulnerabilities or violates your coding standards, while the code it’s being generated. We built this because coding agents can be a double-edged sword. They do boost productivity, but can easily introduce insecure or non-compliant code. One recent research team at NYU found that 40%…

With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
