Codehelper
Local-first repo intelligence for AI coding assistants.
Codehelper indexes git repositories on your machine, builds a symbol and call graph, and exposes 60+ MCP tools so Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and other MCP clients can search, understand, and safely change your code — without uploading the whole repo to a cloud model.
Three reasons to use Codehelper
- Project-aware agents — Search symbols, callers, and blast radius locally instead of grepping whole files.
- Works offline — No API keys; your code stays on your machine.
- Fits your editor — MCP for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex; one codehelper init per repo.
Installation
Linux / macOS (recommended):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/VeyrForge/codehelper/main/scripts/install.sh | shWindows (PowerShell):
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File .\scripts\install.ps1From source (requires Go 1.25+, CGO, and a C compiler):
git clone https://github.com/VeyrForge/codehelper.git && cd codehelper
npm run buildPrebuilt 3.0.3 bundles (Linux, macOS, Windows) include codehelper, MCP server, ge 1.1.1, and greencompress 1.1.1 on GitHub Releases.
Updates: codehelper upgrade downloads the latest release from VeyrForge/codehelper by default. Override the upgrade source with --repo owner/name or CODEHELPERUPGRADEREPO. codehelper update rebuilds from a local git checkout and works from any directory (remembers the source path, or use CODEHELPER_SOURCE / update /path/to/codehelper).
30-second example
cd your-git-repo
codehelper init
codehelper help tools --mainReload Cursor or Claude Code after the first init, then call projectcontext** once per session so the agent knows which tools exist and how fresh the index is.
