Introduction

ast-index builds an AST index for fast code search and integrates with Claude/Codex/Cursor; verified 347★ and installs via Homebrew.

Best for: Large repos where grep is too slow/noisy and you want agents to query symbols/usages precisely

Works with: macOS Homebrew (fast install) and any agent that can call CLI or MCP wrappers

Setup time: 8-18 minutes

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 347 stars · 29 forks · pushed 2026-05-13.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-backed entrypoint: ast-index rebuild.

Main

  • Index once, query forever: run rebuild initially, then prefer incremental update for day-to-day changes.

  • Teach agents a rule: call outline or symbol/usages before reading a 500+ line file to reduce token burn.

  • For monorepos, enable walk-up indexing so subprojects reuse the root index instead of reindexing per folder.

Source-backed notes

  • README provides Homebrew install (brew tap defendend/ast-index then brew install ast-index) and lists 46+ commands.
  • README documents integrations: Claude plugin, Codex MCP install (ast-index install-codex-mcp), and Cursor plugin wiring.
  • README mentions a binary size hint (~44MB) for the release CLI output.

FAQ

  • Do I need to reindex after every change?: No — use incremental update and rebuild only when the index gets out of sync.
  • Is this language-specific?: It supports multiple symbol queries; check README for supported languages in your repo.
  • Can agents access it via MCP?: Yes — README describes an MCP server wrapper that exposes ast-index tools to MCP clients.
