Re:Show HN: Code Search Mcp for GitHub by wwdmaxwell on Tuesday June 03, 2025 @08:17PM (#44176115)
I built this tool because I was getting frustrated by having to clone repos of libraries/APIs I'm using to be able to add them as context to the Cursor IDE (so that Cursor could use the most recent patterns). I would've preferred to just proxy GitHub search, but I (maybe also GitHub) couldn't figure out how to get reliable results based on a query.

My next step is to add the ability to specify a tag/branch to search specific versions of code bases, I also need to level up a bit more on my understanding of optimizing converting text to vectors.
