Vexor Overview

The scarletkc/vexor MCP server exposes semantic search over local files and code through native MCP tools. It builds reusable indexes, returns matching source text with search results, and can warm indexes explicitly. Embeddings can use OpenAI, Gemini, Voyage, OpenAI-compatible APIs, or local models, with optional reranking. Reach for it when an agent needs to locate code by meaning rather than filename or exact search terms.

Primary Use Cases for Vexor:

Find implementation files from natural-language descriptions
Warm a reusable project index before agent work
Search unfamiliar codebases without exact filenames
Locate related tests and configuration code
