<h2></h2>
**X-ray vision for your agent.**
Give your code assistant the ability to see through your codebase—understanding functions, tracing relationships, and finding implementations with surgical precision. Context-first coding. No grep-and-hope loops. No endless back-and-forth. Just smarter engineering in fewer keystrokes.
Built for rapid R&D and pair programming—instant answers when LSP is too slow. [Learn more](https://docs.codanna.sh/)

## Quick Start
### Install (macOS, Linux, WSL)
```bash
### Or via Homebrew
```bash
brew install codanna
```
See [Installation Guide](https://docs.codanna.sh/installation) for Cargo and other options.
### Initialize and index
```bash
codanna init
codanna index src
```
### Search code
```bash
codanna mcp semantic_search_with_context query:"where do we handle errors" limit:3
```
### Search documentation (RAG)
```bash
codanna documents add-collection docs ./docs
codanna documents index
codanna mcp search_documents query:"authentication flow"
```
## What It Does
Your AI assistant gains structured knowledge of your code:
- **"Where's this function called?"** - Instant call graph, not grep results
- **"Find authentication logic"** - Semantic search matches intent, not just keywords
- **"What breaks if I change this?"** - Full dependency analysis across files
The difference: Codanna understands code structure. It knows `parseConfig` is a function that calls `validateSchema`, not just a string match.
## Features
| **[Semantic Search](https://docs.codanna.sh/features/semantic-search)** | Natural language queries against code and documentation. Finds functions by what they do, not just their names. |
| **[Relationship Tracking](https://docs.codanna.sh/features/relationships)** | Call graphs, implementations, and dependencies. Trace how code connects across files. |
| **[Document Search](https://docs.codanna.sh/features/document-search)** | Index markdown and text files for RAG workflows. Query project docs alongside code. |
| **[MCP Protocol](https://docs.codanna.sh/reference/mcp-quick)** | Native integration with Claude, Gemini, Codex, and other AI assistants. |
| **[Profiles](https://docs.codanna.sh/features/collaboration)** | Package hooks, commands, and agents for different project types. |
**Performance:** Sub-10ms lookups, 75,000+ symbols/second parsing.
**Languages:** Rust, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, Kotlin, Go, PHP, C, C++, C#, Swift, GDScript.
## Integration
MCP protocol for AI assistants. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and any MCP-compatible client. Supports stdio, HTTP, and HTTPS transports.
See [Integration Guides](https://docs.codanna.sh/reference/mcp-quick) for setup instructions.
## Requirements
- ~150MB for embedding model (downloaded on first use)
- **Build from source:** Rust 1.85+, Linux needs `pkg-config libssl-dev`
- Windows support is experimental
