`Semble`: agent code search with **98%** fewer tokens than `grep`

SembleCode search MCP — CPU embeddings plus BM25
When agents miss code, grep burns context fast. Semble gives local CPU search with MCP support, worth testing on large repos now.
- Hybrid retrieval combines static
potion-code-16Membeddings,BM25,RRF, and code-aware reranking; no API key or GPU required. - Benchmarks cover about 1,250 query/document pairs, 63 repos, and 19 languages, giving better signal than a toy demo.
- Claims 250ms typical repo indexing and 1.5ms CPU queries; large monorepos still need local validation.
- MCP support targets
Claude Code,Cursor,Codex, andOpenCode, so setup can replace noisy grep-style agent searches.
