Ontomics Overview

EtienneChollet/ontomics MCP server builds a local semantic index of a Git repository so coding agents can query domain concepts, naming conventions, relationships, and similar implementations. It parses supported source files, combines TF-IDF, embeddings, clustering, and PageRank, then exposes the results through MCP tools and an optional briefing resource. Reach for it when ordinary search or an LSP does not provide enough context about a codebase's vocabulary, structure, or repeated logic.
