Side-by-side comparison of two Model Context Protocol servers — install paths, tools, quality signals, and directory engagement so you can pick the right one for Claude, Cursor, and other MCP clients.
Routes an AI coding agent's code search through an official language-server index (clangd / Roslyn / tsserver / pyright) instead of grep, returning a token-capped file:line list with no source bodies — 20× fewer tokens. Also symbol-level edit-by-name, a Bash-grep→indexed-query rewrite hook, and git/p4 output compaction. Local-only, no IDE. Claude Code plugin + vts CLI.
Code-intelligence engine that indexes a repo into a persistent knowledge graph — functions, classes, call chains, HTTP routes, cross-service links. 159 languages via tree-sitter + Hybrid LSP, sub-ms structural queries, 99% fewer tokens than grep. Single static binary, zero dependencies, 100% local. npx codebase-memory-mcp
