What the publisher says
From the Compendio repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.RuloGB/compendio-mcp -->
Your project's documentation, served to any agent in the fewest possible tokens. A local RAG retrieval layer exposed as an MCP server. Your agent stops grepping and dumping whole files — it reaches the right paragraph instead.
What it does • Requirements • Quick Start • Configuration • MCP Tools • CLI • How it works • Incremental sync • Multilingual • Full docs
The problem
Your agent doesn't know your documentation. So it does what it can: grep, then cat a 400-line file to answer a question that lived in one paragraph. Three files later the context window is full of noise and the answer is still a guess.
Attaching the whole docs/ folder doesn't fix it — it just moves the waste earlier. Neither does keyword search: nobody writes questions using the exact words the document uses.
Same question, same model, and both answers are correct — the difference is what it cost to get there. 6 tool calls • 29s • 32,301 tokens → 2 tool calls • 12s • 17,684 tokens. Figures read from OpenCode's own elapsed label and cost tooltip, on an 81-document corpus.
What Compendio does

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
